Statistics show that, despite our connected world--and partly because of it--we are lonelier than ever. Social media tricks us into thinking that we are engaged in genuine friendships, except we never quite get beyond that feeling of being outside someone else's life and looking in every so often at what they choose to show the world. Instead of intimacy we get little more than what amounts to digital small talk. But there is a solution.

With plenty of good humor and practical advice, Jack Eason invites you to discover the benefits of doing life together with other brothers and sisters in Christ. Grounding his message in Scripture, Eason helps you

- learn the obstacles to real community
- reimagine what real friendship looks like
- discover a place of true belonging
- and more

If you're tired of feeling lonely, this encouraging and community-building book is just what you need.

Pastors can quickly increase their church offering dollars! They can rapidly raise significant amounts for special building projects! They can cultivate the spirit of generosity throughout the entire congregation! Beyond prayer, this book teaches what the professionals know, and charge thousands of dollars for administrating.This book includes a "Quick Read" synopsis chapter for the busiest of Pastors. Every Pastor will be pleased with how easy it is to understand and connect with the generosity motivators of our current multi-age culture. Churches will see success rapidly. The general pre-release consensus has been, "I wish they would have taught us this in seminary!" Authors Mike G. Williams and Jack Eason are fundraising professionals who raise millions of dollars every year for churches and para-church organizations. They are both ordained ministers who speak widely on the subject of donor/partner development. Mike has been the most re-booked PRC fundraising speaker in the country for the past 16 years. Jack is one of the go-to gurus for Christian radio stations and para-church groups who need to raise a million dollars in an afternoon.Mike G. Williams has a follow-up book for church members that teaches the joys of stewardship in the local church. That book is entitled The Whatever Life Hack and published by Renovate Publishing Group. Mike is available to teach your leadership the art of cultivating greater giving, and teach your congregation the "why" behind the offering plate in a non-offensive manner.

Let’s start with six quick questions. Do you need to increase the amount of income your church is receiving? Would you like to meet your weekly budget? Would you like to buy some printer ink cartridges without having to call a special business meeting to approve the purchase? Would you like for people to give generously and automatically? Would you like to see younger people get involved in tithes and offerings? Would you like to know the secrets that the hugely successful para-church organizations are using to garner large quantities of money? Great. You are in the right class. Take out your notebooks.

Before we go too far into this discussion, we need to make a full disclosure. Both of the authors are ordained pastors, active in local churches, and are responsible for the fundraising for a mid-sized mission in a developing country. We’ve written numerous books and have made our living helping non-profits garner larger gifts from donors. Our business expertise and success has thrust us into the middle of a great world of major non-profit organizations. We are helping those non-profits raise millions of dollars and in turn, they help us fund our international mission projects. There are plenty of donors and money out there. Our objective is to help you receive a rightful share … and, of course, use that for the cause of the good Gospel.
