What would your church look like if everyone tithed?

Pastor and church growth strategist Nelson Searcy wrote Maximize as the ultimate how-to book for pastors and church leaders who long for their churches to carry out ministry initiatives.

By building a healthy stewardship system, you can cultivate giving and discipleship in your church!

Shining a light on the often-taboo subject of money, Maximize offers a proven, step-by-step plan for maximizing financial gifts while growing strong disciples.

You'll learn how to:

  • Cultivate first-time givers
  • Challenge people to tithe
  • Develop an ongoing stewardship system
  • Follow up with givers the right way
  • Develop multiple giving options
  • Shepherd the five types of givers in your church
  • Educate people to grow in the grace of giving
  • And much, much more!

This revised and updated book is a must-have addition to your stewardship toolkit! Because stewardship is an essential part of discipleship. This biblical process will move the money discussion out of the darkness and turn first-time givers in your church into generous stewards of financial gifts.
