Planned Giving Simplified A down-to-earth introduction to planned giving by a leading pioneer in the field. In this groundbreaking book, charitable gift planning expert Robert F. Sharpe, Sr., demystifies the complex world of planned giving for not-for-profit managers. He provides a detailed blueprint for starting and building a successful planned giving program, and develops a rational framework for managing the subtle interplay of legal, administrative, and interpersonal factors involved in the planned giving process. Central to Sharpe's proven approach is his controversial definition of the effective charitable gift planner as being not so much a fund raiser as an expert at helping potential benefactors satisfy a deeply felt emotional need. Rather than soliciting or closing on planned gifts, the planner's primary focus should be on forming relationships with donors and providing them with the means and opportunity to fulfill their desire to do good. Using compelling case studies, Sharpe demonstrates his approach in action. He identifies the various types of planned gifts and takes you inside the hearts and minds of the planned givers themselves, revealing their primary motivations and overarching concerns. He then guides you, step-by-step, through the entire planned giving process, and concludes with a clear delineation of the organizational structures required to sustain a planned giving program. 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." Nancy L. Perazelli, CFRE Gift Planning Officer, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. "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 destination without unnecessary detours along the way. His book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of not only not-for-profit professionals, 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." Thomas W. Cullinan, JD Executive Director of Gift Planning, University of Maryland.
The ancient churches and cathedrals of England's towns and
countryside are among the glories of our national heritage, the
church spire one of the quintessential features of the landscape.
Yet how were our ancestors able to construct these often
substantial edifices without the benefit of modern techniques? How
did medieval masons plan, design and oversee their construction?
What methods of construction were used to achieve the magnificent
church spires and ceilings that we marvel at today? Geoffrey R.
Sharpe brings more that forty years of experience of managing and
caring for historic buildings to provide a unique guide to the
design and construction of our historic churches and cathedrals.
Building a cathedral could require a workforce of 300 to 400 men,
the quarrying of 80,000 tons of stone and involve the felling of
1500 trees. How all this was organized, managed and realized is
explained in this compelling volume. The author deals with all
aspects - from original planning and preparation, to the final
construction and decoration. The layout and choice of materials,
the construction of the foundations, walls and ceilings, the work
of the highly skilled medieval masons, blacksmiths and carpenters
are all described and explained. Individual aspects of church
architecture such as corbels, tracery and windows, as well as
important features of church interiors such as galleries, burial
vaults and screens are included. And in a final chapter the author
shows the reader how to assess the history and development of a
church from the constructional and architectural clues contained
within its features. The result is a work that will add a whole new
dimension to understanding English church building and
architecture.

A leading Harvard psychiatrist reveals how our emotional lives
are profoundly shaped by the seasons, and how to recognize our own
seasonal patterns and milestones
In two decades of psychiatry practice, John R. Sharp has worked
with many people who experienced the same emotional distresses at
specific times of the year--a young woman who became depressed
before Thanksgiving, a middle-aged man who felt anxious about
making his summer travel plans, people who made
uncharacteristically extreme decisions as spring approached.
In "The Emotional Calendar," Sharp reveals how environmental,
psychological, and cultural forces profoundly affect the way we
feel, and how the enduring effects of personal anniversaries can
influence our moods and behavior year after year. Sharp also
illustrates a wide range of individual responses to cultural
phenomena: some people feel anxious at the start of a new school
year or are undone by the prospect of tax season while others are
buoyed by the start of a sports season.
Sharp shows us how to recognize the milestones on our own
emotional calendars, providing guidance for how to break stifling
patterns and remedy destructive moods. This empathetic and deeply
resonant book will help readers reach an emotional balance for the
years ahead.
