The book follows a newly appointed pastor (a hypothetical “Fr. Dave”) as he struggles with each component of parish financial administration. The case study is included in every chapter with the goal that readers connect their own lived experiences to those of Fr. Dave and see the concepts come alive in the everyday world of parish management.
The book won second place in the “professional books” category at the 2017 Catholic Press Association Awards.
