Media Reviews

Anthony B. Robinson, editor, Congregational Vitality series, and co-author, Words for the Journey: Letters to Our Teenagers about Life and Faith

Green helps us to see that what ignites generosity is praise—praise of God. With this insight, he directs us from a focus on ourselves to a focus on the living God.

Lillian Daniel, Senior Minister, First Congregational Church, UCC, Glen Ellyn, Illinois; co-author, This Odd and Wondrous Calling: The Public and Private Lives of Two Ministers

Green challenges us to imagine the many reasons people give, and to give God thanks for them all.

William G. Enright, Director, Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University

Green unfolds the wisdom of generosity with practical savvy and theological saneness, and does not dodge the testy questions and feisty issues.

Donna Schaper, Senior Minister, Judson Memorial Church, New York City

Let this book inspire and instruct you in the contagious arts of firing up generosity in your parish. You will be richer for reading it.

Stephen W. Johnson, Executive Director, Ecumenical Stewardship Center

An engaging stewardship study wherein congregations can talk and share about money….not a series of 52 methods but rather 52 questions to discuss generosity.

R. Jeffrey Pollock, Esq., McDonald Hopkins LLC, Cleveland, Ohio

A new orientation toward giving, a new way of understanding financial commitment as generosity in light of all that God has given us.
