Book Review
There is something special about giving. It leaves you with a warm satisfied feeling. We live in a world that measures success by the amount of material items you acquire. Stephen B. McSwain debunks that myth in his book, The Giving Myths. He shows how we should go beyond the tithe; we should give of our selves. McSwain uses scripture to emphasis his thesis. The giving person has joy, peace, and fulfillment.

I have 30 years of development experience, an MDiv degree, and seven years of stewardship work with parishes. This book is the best book about stewardship that I've read in a couple of decades. Maybe ever. I believe this book could change peoples' lives, and I am recommending it to every church group with whom I meet. At least two congregations are reading the book as part of a larger process of holistic change. Improvements in stewardship results require changes of heart within individuals. New methods of gathering in money and periodic surges in stewardship education may provide a measure of improvement in money and involvement for the church, but permanent change requires church members to view the world and their lives through different lenses. The Giving Myths can help people do just that.
