The Christian Charities Handbook

The Christian Charities Handbook is an invaluable guide to the legal and practical responsibilities associated with the governance and management of charities. Paul Martin, a senior and experienced charity solicitor, offers an overview of the principal issues and appropriate advice for responding to them. Wherever possible the material is related specifically to the Christian sector, to maximise its usefulness and relevance. The text also contains links to appropriate websites that will keep readers informed of present and future developments in charity law

Charities operate in an increasingly complex environment. Their charitable status does not excuse them from governing their organisation in a manner that complies with the myriad of laws and regulations that apply to their day-to-day operation. This book is written to help leaders and board members of Christian charities as they seek to outwork their calling in New Zealand. It aims to help you to encourage the team that God has placed you in, and to outwork His purposes in and through your organisation.

Handbook of Catholic Social Teaching employs a question and answer format, to better accentuate the response of the Church's message to the questions Catholics have about their social role and what the Church intends to teach about it. Written in consultation with the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, the Handbook should take its place alongside the Catechism of the Social Doctrine of the Church on the shelf of informed Catholics as works that can inform what we believe and do in the public sphere.

Christian stewardship has changed and grown into a much broader and richer vision of grateful response to God for all creation. This book helps us with our attitude to money, lifestyle, and generosity; gives guidance on making a mission statement, coping with change, personal appraisal and action. It is backed by the Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland Christian Stewardship Network, the Christian Stewardship Committee of the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England, the Archbishop of the Church in Wales, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the General Secretary of the Baptist Union, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Reformed Church, the Territorial Commander of the Salvation Army and the Secretary of the Methodist Stewardship Organisation.
