For over 30 years the percentage of income that Christians give has been declining and many churchgoers giving records are blank. But a small 90-page generosity book that is being ordered weekly by the thousands is helping to positively change many people’s giving perspectives and practices. <\/p>\n
The “40 Day Spiritual Journey to a More Generous Life”<\/em> was released last summer by pastor and generosity speaker and writer, Brian Kluth. Amazingly 200,000 copies were printed in the first year to keep up with ever-increasing orders from churches, denominations and non-profits nationwide.<\/p>\n Hundreds of churches are ordering copies for every family to inspire biblical generosity and increase giving. Many denominations are working with Kluth to send a free copy to every church in America.<\/p>\n Some churches have reported giving increases of 10% to 50% in the months following the use of the booklet with their congregations. <\/p>\n Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, ordered 4500 copies for their $35,000,000 campaign and said, “We researched every available resource we could find to inspire people’s generosity. This booklet was the best thing we found anywhere.”<\/p>\n The unexpected success of a book on generosity has even caught the media’s attention. TV news stories with Kluth have been on NBC in Colorado. CBN did a live TV interview that was aired worldwide. The Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper ran a front page story in their weekend Life section. Moody Radio’s 250-stations will conduct an interview with Kluth in September. News about the book has appeared in The Christian Post (as a top story of the day), Google News, Yahoo News, MSNBC News, United Press International, REV! Magazine, Church Executive Magazine and many others. <\/p>\n The booklet includes 40 daily Bible readings, weekly projects and group questions to help people understand what the Bible teaches about finances and giving. “Years ago, I was in debt and had financial problems. As I learned what the Bible teaches about money, God helped me completely turn around my finances and gave me the freedom to live generously. I am grateful that so many other people can benefit from things I have learned,” said Kluth.<\/p>\n Earlier this year Kluth was honored by the Christian Stewardship Association as the Outstanding Stewardship Educator of the year.<\/p>\n Kluth’s www.MAXIMUMgenerosity.org website and resources are highly ranked by all search engines on the subject of generosity and church giving.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For over 30 years the percentage of income that Christians give has been declining and many churchgoers giving records are blank.
