Pastors in attendance at Mission ConneXion Northwest 2009 in Portland were given a copy of this book by the author so I read it. The following people ought to read this book - believers in Christ who don't give of their finances; believers who give with the desire to maximize their giving for the Kingdom of God; believers who attempt to justify withholding giving for whatever excuses they can come up with; believers who give to overseas missions bypassing legitimate financial accountability. By far the strength of the book is Martin's years of experience in missions and helping us wealthy westerners see our arrogance when it comes to indiscriminately funding missions abroad. Want to know why it's perhaps not the wisest thing to go to another country and physically build a church? Read this thought provoking book. (4 of 5 stars)
