Get your free copy of Mark Brooks's new book, "Stewardship Myths." It is the premise of this book that incorrect data from myths, half truths and church legends leads leaders and ministries to faulty conclusions. Faulty conclusions lead to inaccurate and ineffective actions. This often results in loss of momentum, loss of time and ultimately loss of funding.

Mark's goal with this book is to help you discover these myths and find solutions around them. The following myths will be dealt with.

The Money Myth

The Myth: Churches talk too much about money.
The Truth: Churches don't talk about money enough!

The Pareto Myth

The Myth: Twenty per cent of the people give eighty percent of the money.
The Truth: While true in principle, attaching a percentage to giving misses the point.

The Ignorance Myth

The Myth: Pastors should not know what members give.
The Truth: Pastors need to know what members give.

The Favoritisim Myth

The Myth: Focusing on top end donors violates Scripture.
The Truth: Failing to focus on top end donors hurts your ministry.

The Debt Myth

The Myth: Churches should never go in debt..
The Truth: Properly used debt can be an effective tool for churches.

The Field of Dreams Myth

The Myth: If you build it they will come.
The Truth: If you build it they might come.

The Expectation Myth

The Myth: Churches can raise between 1 1/2 to 3 times their annual operating budget in a capital stewardship campaign.
The Truth: What a church can raise is based on a wide range of factors making it impossible to predict a range of giving.

The Program Myth

The Myth: Get people involved and they will give.
The Truth: Cast a compelling vision and people will give.

The Recession Myth

The Myth: Giving declines during recessions.
The Truth: Giving can thrive no matter what the economy is doing.

The Social Media Myth

The Myth: Social media is the future of contributions.
The Truth: Social media results in small contributions.

Recommendations for "Stewardship Myths."

"Mark Brooks helps pastors carefully unpack their assumptions about money and ministry. Mark captures an emerging conversation among church leaders who have a limited number of good resources to turn to for help in the area of stewardship and giving. Those who wrestle with these Killer Myths will discover that often the biggest obstacle to following God, leading churches, and fully funded ministry budgets is, in fact, ourselves."
Ben Stroup, Chief Broker of Opportunity, LifeWay Envelope Service, a ministry of LifeWay Christian Resources and author of Church Giving Matter
