Praise for Planned Giving Simplified

"This book is a must for all who are serious about establishing or maintaining a successful gift planning program for their institution."

"In his own inimitable style, Bob Sharpe has done an admirable job of describing the planned giving process in an easy-to-understand manner. Woven throughout is the emphasis on the important human relationship between the donor and the charitable gift planner."

?Walter T. Weaver, III
Director, Finance Support Division, Boy Scouts of America

"Robert F. Sharpe, Sr., has provided a comprehensive road map of the world of planned giving. He guides [readers] to the desired desti- nation without unnecessary detours along the way. His book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of not only not-for-profit profession-als, but also 'givers' who seek a better understanding of the many routes available to them in their gift planning."

?Joseph H. Powell
President Emeritus and Senior Consultant,
Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation

"The name Bob Sharpe is synonymous with planned giving. I don't know of anybody who knows more about it and who can better convey its importance."

?Reverend Dr. Arthur Caliandro
Pastor, Marble Collegiate Church, New York City

"I really like [this book]. It is . . . elegantly simple, direct, and forthright. . . . very enjoyable."
