"Whose Offering Plate Is It? is an excellent companion piece to J. Clif Christopher's earlier book Not Your Parents' Offering Plate. In his newest book Christopher addresses the many practical `how to and `what does this mean' questions raised in his earlier challenging and ground-breaking book. Once again, Christopher proves to be a savvy and earthy guide as he writes with a candid, no-frills flair which connects with pastors and lay church leaders." William G.
