Russell James Adds Three New Books to His Collection
Russell James has created three new books as part of The Biblical Fundraiser Series, including:
- The Biblical Fundraiser in Modern Practice
- The Biblical Fundraiser in Ancient Words
- A Christian's Guide to Joyful Wealth Management
The first book, The Biblical Fundraiser in Modern Practice, is intended as a deep dive into modern major gift fundraising. The second book, The Biblical Fundraiser in Ancient Words, is intended as a deep dive into the ancient words of major gift fundraising. The third book, A Christian's Guide to Joyful Wealth Management, is intended as a planning tool for donors to help determine what to do with the gifts bestowed upon them.
These books are intended to instruct those who are wealthy "to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves a treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life." This series is for anyone interested in the work of fundraising, the theology of fundraising, the ancient history of fundraising, and how to plan effectively.IRS Seeks Comments on Expanded Excise Taxes on ATEO Compensation
