Back Cover
Several years ago, I wrote a review for a book on fundraising that was never published. I took issue with one of the assumptions about relationships with donors. The author started from the premise that wealthy donors are rich in possessions but poor in spirit, and the role of the fundraiser is to minister to their hurts and needs. There was no mention of the opportunity to learn from the experience and competence of donors, nor of the possibility that not all donors might need another ministry friend to come alongside them just then.
The formulaic relationship described in that book does not at all reflect the dynamic, honest, and sincere bond forged by Peter Greer and David Weekley. What they have found in each others company is a shared respect for their different strengths and perspectives. The genuine friendship and mutuality that they have is rare between peers but almost nonexistent between major donors and ministry leaders. The pressure for the leader to conform to donor expectations or for the donor to control the programs of the ministry is ever-present, and learning how David and Peter have managed to resist that pattern is one of the rewards of reading this book. Over time, they have learned to grow each other and not be content with a merely transactional relationship.
