I have had the opportunity to meet Bert Berkley personally and to hear him speak many times at a trade association we both frequently attend, so it was no surprise that his book reflects his character and sense duty he feels about giving back to society.

Drucker clearly explains how rampant inflation in post WW I Germany influenced the rise of the Nazi party and Hitler. This discussion should be required reading for every 14 year old child! I particularly liked his stories of Willem Paarboom, a sort of Dutch hedge-fund/investment manager who appeared to be a cross between a man and a raven. In his day, Herr Drucker was exposed to some truly ...             Church Marketing 101: Preparing Your Church for Greater Growth15 reviews Richard L. Reising Baker Books, 2006 Very useful book with uninspiring title Marketing is the "management of perception", and it is something that every church does, whether or not they do it explicitly, according to Richard Reising in this book. Managing perception is about effectively presenting reality, not manipulating the truth, and as a result the biggest marketing issues for most churches are not producing advertising materials, but the manner in which the church ...             Grassroots Marketing: Getting Noticed in a Noisy World13 reviews Shel Horowitz Chelsea Green, 2000 I'd give it six stars if I could . . .

It's been around for a while in one form or another. Currently it is in its 5th revision. And with each revision the author has refined it. As a result, it is very well written and outlined. It is also really good because the author is a fundraising practitioner and teaches what she does. She really knows her stuff when it comes to fundraising. At least that's the impression I ...             Search: Winning Strategies to Get Your Next Job in the Nonprofit World13 reviews Piemonte Press, 2004 Perfect for smart people looking for a new job or challenge Slesinger's book is an excellent blueprint for beginning a search and following through, even when life gets in the way.

One: a good story line. In the case of a mystery, it needs an interesting crime and a solution that is not obvious. Two: an unapologetic approach to faith. Too often Christian writers shy away from actually discussing their faith, ending in a story that vaguely mentions God and behaving in a moral manner. I am very happy to say that The Million ...             The Ultimate Board Member's Book14 reviews Kay Sprinkel Grace Emerson & Church Publishers, 2008 A must Have for any Library If you serve on any type of board, this book would be great to read.Best price found on Amazon.com and well worth the cost.             How to Raise $1 Million (Or More!) in 10 Bite-sized Steps: A Failproof Guide for Board Members, Volunteers ...15 reviews Andrea Kihlstedt Emerson & Church Publishers, 2010 finally Finally a short, readable and engaging handbook.
