About this book

In The Grace of Giving, John Stott takes you through the Apostle Paul's teaching on giving. He'll help you answer questions about when to give, what to give, and in what spirit. These 10 principles of Christian giving offer sound guidelines for you as you make decisions about finances.

Chris Wright's The Risky Business of Handling Money, now included, walks us through familiar Bible passages, raising questions about how we let biblical models shape our approach to financial responsibility. The Apostle Paul sets a clear standard for the church, and the principles easily transfer to any charity or organization.
