Development 101
In our 60 years of combined experience with faith-based non-profits we have seen high turnover rates in development staff, a general lack of a driving philosophy/theology of development in most ministries, confusion from boards over their proper role in development, and development staff who are frustrated and burned out by the demands of their work. The common denominator is a lack of a comprehensive, biblically based, fundamentally sound, development strategy. This book is our attempt to provide development professionals with a tool that can help them build robust, God-honoring development programs.

Stewardship as a Lifestyle
In Stewardship as a Lifestyle, Dr. John R. Frank digs into his yearning for a more wholistic approach to the life of the steward. John touches on the broad strokes of time, talent and money, but he is not trying to be broad, he is going for deep. After a couple of chapters where he makes a compelling case, John shifts to a series of short and challenging musings about the life of the steward. Each one is designed to provoke conversation and reflection, coming from his own journey to grow in the grace of generosity.
