Book Description
Christ says, "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded." Luke 12:48. We live in an age of unparalleled resources and comfort. To the Christian this represents an opportunity and a responsibility. Christians have a tremendous opportunity to do the maximum amount of good to the maximum amount of people. We also have a responsibility to be good managers of all that God entrusts to us-time, abilities, health and finances. If you desire to become an increasingly excellent steward of all the resources God has given you, then you will benefit from reading Stewardship Mandate. Stewardship Mandate will give you a blueprint for living and making progress in the area of whole-life stewardship-making the most of time, abilities, health and finances. You will learn how to develop a stewardship plan for your life. This plan will help you set goals, monitor and track your progress in the crucial area of stewardship in your Christian life. J.C. Ryle says, "Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people." We will be asked to give an account of our stewardship at death. Will you be prepared to do so on the day you meet God?

Beyond Stewardship
Author: David P. Warners
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781937555382
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Beyond Stewardship is intended to equip Christians to live better in this world by helping us all think more intentionally about the relationship we have with the nonhuman creation in which we are necessarily and thoroughly embedded. It responds to these questions: "What if God didn't place humans on earth to be stewards of creation, but something else?" and "if not stewards, then what?" The chapters in Beyond Stewardship are written by scholars from diverse disciplines who share a deep passion for a flourishing creation. Each chapter begins with a compelling story that draws the reader into new ways of thinking. Each author then looks beyond stewardship from the context of her or his own discipline and experiences. Some reimagine creation care by expanding on the traditional notion of stewardship. Others set aside the stewardship model and offer alternative ways to understand our presence within the broader creation. The chapters mark out ways to live better in the places we inhabit as individuals, communities, and institutions. Collectively, the essays in Beyond Stewardship offer an expanded and enlivened understanding of the place of humans in the context of God's creation.
