This classic book, written by Luther K. Snow, who served as the Director of the Congregational Asset Mapping Project for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, helps congregations recognize their assets- whether they be physical, talent, or economic- and act on them in mission and ministry. Snow believes that asset mapping happens between people, and this book provides a step-by-step guide that congregations can follow as they discover The What: What is Congregational Asset Mapping, The How: How Do We Map Assets, and the Why: Why Does Asset Mapping Work?
