Christian/Memoir
Dumb Luck or Divine Guidance
By Dorsey E. Levell as told to Wayne E. Groner
Council of Churches of the Ozarks
In a folksy, easy-to-read style and a deeply personal account, Dorsey Levell recalls his thirty-one years as founding executive director of the Council of Churches of the Ozarks, Springfield, Missouri.
He takes readers through his successes and his failures. From his early and tentative days with the Council when he was ready to quit because there was no office, no staff and no budget, to an annual budget of twelve million dollars. From the heady days of seemingly unstoppable growth of the Council, to a fear he would cause its downfall in his despair over the unexpected death from cancer of his closest friend and co-worker.
Dorsey speaks candidly of the reasons for his divorce after forty-two years of marriage, being diagnosed with degenerative arthritis, battling prostate cancer, undergoing five-way heart bypass surgery, his nearly three decades as a chaplain in the U.S. Army Reserve, and his love for the outdoors, especially fishing.
During his tenure, the Council created fifteen human service agencies, grew to 120 paid staff and more than one thousand volunteers, and was recognized throughout the United States as a model of effective outreach ministries.

The Pastor’s Guide to Fund-raising Success
By Dorsey E. Levell and Wayne E. Groner
Bonus Books
This comprehensive guide for pastors, staff, and volunteers takes the mystery out of funding ministry. Fundraising does not happen just because you are doing God's work. Many pastors and other church leaders understand the need for money to fund church ministries, but too many of them do not understand the role of fundraising as an integral part of church activities.
The authors show you how to plan, organize, and implement fundraising in conjunction with other church programs for sustained funding year after year. They cover the three types of fundraising programs—annual giving, capital campaign, and endowment—as well as how to ask for major gifts and what to do when you get turned down.
A Checklist for Success at the end of each chapter helps keep you moving toward your goals. Includes numerous charts, a glossary of fundraising terms, and listings of books, directories, periodicals, subscription services, and other support resources.
Available at traditional and online bookstores.
