Publisher's Description
What does it look like when pastors cultivate a culture of generosity in the church by actively teaching and mentoring people in the spiritual act of giving? It’s generosity that’s contagious. A growing number of leaders are beginning to discover that there are key factors that make some churches thrive with abundant resources while others struggle with shrinking budgets. Jim Sheppard and Chris Willard have spent years consulting with church leaders across a broad spectrum of church settings and have gathered their observations into this resource, part of the Leadership Network Innovations Series. Contagious Generosity highlights the best practices gleaned from real-life church leadership situations and shows how church leaders can effectively cultivate a culture of generous giving in the local church. It explains why some churches are experiencing unexplainable ministry growth and unprecedented church funding … even in the midst of tough economic times.

“To my mom and dad, who lived generously and modeled unconditional love for me. To my girls, Anna and Emily — there was a time when we thought we would not be able to have kids, but God knew different, and he gave you to us. You are the manifestation of his generous grace in our lives. And most of all to Nancy, who said “I do” many years ago. You have been generous with your love for me and your forgiveness of me, and it has changed the way I live.”
“To my children, CJ, Hannah, and Natalie, I am so proud of you and thankful for all you have taught me about what really matters. And, most of all, to my wife, the fabulous Susan. What would I do without you? I am so thankful for everything you have done that has helped me become the man I am today.”
