Download or read book Fearless Major Gifts written by Charles LaFond and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take the fear out of "the art of the ask." Every major gift is planned, and every planned gift is major. This book is written with the premise that if you know how to identify, evaluate, cultivate and finally ask for the gift, it does not matter if it is a major gift or a will. Clergy and others need help learning how to 'make the ask' before thedr major gifts have been allocated to other non-profits and schools so willing and prepared to ask for them. LaFond recounts, "I remember sitting with a beloved, dying parishioner who turned to me in her last three hours and quietly said 'I wish I had remembered the church in my will.' I asked why she had not and she said, sweetly, 'They never asked, and everyone else did, and so thoroughly.'” Clergy and lay leaders are terrified of asking for major and planned gifts while parishes need them and donors need to give them. Clergy are not taught in seminary how to do this essential work of ministry. LaFond, in his various roles, is filling that educational gap.

Download or read book A Silver Hammer written by Arline Potter and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 1999-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in San Francisco and Sacramento, this is the story of America's first Transcontinenal Railroad. The players are The Central Pacific, The Big Four and the tens of thousands who built the roads, laid the rails, drove the spikes and crossed the Sierra Nevada into Utah—a task everyone said was impossible. In 1865, newlywed Ian Hamilton leaves the North of England for California where his uncle, Geddes MacCallum, consulting engineer to the Central Pacific Railroad, has offers him a job. Wife Gwen is to follow when their child is born. Though Gwen is reluctant, she makes the trip with her cousins, the Marsdens. En route they endure unspeakable ordeals. Once in San Francisco, Gwen sees little of Ian. He is following his passions—wherever the railroad is being built, over vast mountain ranges, across desert wastes and, soon, into the arms of Mai Ping, the beautiful daughter of MacCallum's closest confidant, Feng Li. Though Gwen nows nothing specific, she senses trouble. Engineer MacCallum is unwillingly complicit with Ian's deception because he will allow nothing to interfere with the completion of the railroad. Gwen pits her will against Ian's infatuation with hauling the railroad to its final destination. She is further distressed as she observes the life of her cousin, Dolly Marsden, who appears to achieve everything that eludes Gwen at every turn. As she sees it, the blame for all her anguish and uncertainty lies with her rival for Ian's affection, the railroad. She remains entirely ignorant of his affair with Mai Ping. Torn between the two women, Ian is like a leaf in a Spring freshet, whirled about by eddies over which he seems to have no control. His work on the Central Pacific is his only refuge from the increasing confusion of his personal life.
