_**"Fundraising is, first and foremost, a ministry..." Henri Nouwen**_

Have you ever raised funds for your church, another organization, or a mission trip?
Maybe you felt uncomfortable about asking people to donate money. It's time to change
the way you view this important task.

_**"Fundraising is, first and foremost, a ministry,"**_ renowned author and teacher
Henri Nouwen writes in the introduction."It's a way of announcing our vision and
inviting other people into our mission."

Nouwen approaches fundraising from a position of strength rather than weakness, 
seeing it as spiritual work. "Fundraising is precisely the opposite of begging,"
he points out.

Unlike most business/leadership books, A Spirituality of Fundraising is brief and
can easily be read in one sitting. Sections of this booklet include:

 * Fundraising as Ministry
 * Helping the Kingdom Come About
 * Our Security Base
 * People Who Are Rich
 * Asking
 * A New Communion
 * Prayer and Gratitude
 * Your Kingdom Come

Nouwen's insights will shift your thinking about fundraising. You'll never feel 
as though you are begging for money but will instead view your work as true ministry.
A must-read for leaders in churches, nonprofits, ministries, and businesses!
