""This concise and readable volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of stewardship. Exhibiting careful and thorough research, John Reumann traces the broad history of the stewardship concept . . . to the present day. While Reumann demonstrates that the term has had many shades of meaning in its history, he also makes clear, helpful suggestions on the meaning of stewardship for today, especially by connecting stewardship with the economy of God. I commend this book to all pastors, seminarians, and laity willing to struggle with what stewardship means for our lives and our world as we approach the twenty-first century."" -WILHAM O. AVERY, Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary ""With his ...
Christian stewardship has changed and grown into a much broader and richer vision of grateful response to God for all creation. This book helps us with our attitude to money, lifestyle, and generosity; gives guidance on making a mission statement, coping with change, personal appraisal and action. It is backed by the Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland Christian Stewardship Network, the Christian Stewardship Committee of the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England, the Archbishop of the Church in Wales, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the General Secretary of the Baptist Union, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the United Reformed Church, the Territorial Commander of the Salvation Army and the Secretary of the Methodist Stewardship Organisation.
Stewardship is not just about money but about something much more fundamental: how we respond to God's call to be disciples of Christ and how we live out that response in our daily lives. In a simple, practical, and concise style, Daniel Conway shows why stewardship is an essential aspect of Christian living. Book jacket.
In Kingdom Stewardship, Dr. Tony Evans inspires you to broaden your perspective of Christian stewardship. In this encouraging and challenging book, you will learn that stewardship includes how you manage all that God has given you—your time, your talents, and your treasures—to advance God’s kingdom and bring Him glory. While many stewardship books focus on managing financial resources, Tony Evans says that your finances are one small part of a much bigger calling. He teaches that God owns all things, and you are the manager of His assets. When you bring your entire life into alignment under God, you will be blessed with purpose and the abundant life that comes from living by God’s eternal principles.

The aim of my work is to supply a manifest for the Christian pastor, missionary, or teacher seeking to disciple other Christian workers desiring to serve the Lord more effectively. Knowing the time needed to prepare effective lessons, this work is to expedite their study time. I am not their teacher; they have the Holy Spirit for that purpose. I have grouped related Scripture in related subjects for a more complete study in relation to the text used. I have used this series over the past twenty-five years and have witnessed the effectiveness in the unity it provides in solving the difficulties encountered in most Christian assemblies. God’s Word will always work when properly applied. Romans 10:17: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
“Permanently in debt but never bankrupt.” No, this is not the motto of a creative investor, but it is a picturesque description of every Christian. Christians are all permanently indebted to the Creator and Redeemer because he has showered them with his gifts of physical and spiritual life, yet they are never insolvent because as stewards of God’s gifts of “talents, time, and possessions” they always have at their disposal ways of partially repaying their debt. The apostle Paul affords Christians a spectacular example in using his God-given skills of leadership and motivational discourse to initiate and complete a relief project for needy fellow-believers in the church of Jerusalem. Nowhere else in his thirteen extant letters does he spend 39 consecutive verses speaking about one and the same topic, as he does in chapters 8 and 9 of 2 Corinthians where he encourages his friends in Corinth to complete their collection for this admirable project. In the course of his encouragement, he highlights many commendable ways for Christian stewards to give to God and to others—such as generously, enthusiastically, voluntarily, creatively, regularly, and unobtrusively.
The biblical image of the steward is highly provocative and even revolutionary. In recent years, environmentalists and peace marchers have been discovering the radical potential of the stewardship motif, while the church, sadly, has muffled this symbol's power in ecclesiastical wrappings. So writes Douglas John Hall in the first edition of 'The Steward' (1982). This provocative book has been so much in demand all over the world that Hall has completely rewritten, revised, and expanded his work, adding new material and deleting dated references. Yet Hall has kept his original book's basic format the same in this new and improved edition. In short, Hall aims to recapture the most basic meaning...
