Stewardship

"There is an urgent need these days for clear thinking about stewardship, and Scott Rodin has now provided it. In this book he shows that thinking theologically and philosophically about stewardship can be both spiritually profitable and intellectually stimulating. This is an important study that deserves the serious attention of anyone who cares deeply about faithful stewardship.”"

"A groundbreaking reformulation of stewardship by a person whose theological expertise matches his outstanding fundraising skills. Excellent."

"This in-depth study examines the sacrifical, selfless, joyous life of a steward in God's kingdom. The focus is on understanding God through Christ and living in relationship to Him, others, oneself, and creation. Rodin, a seminary president, was a professional fund-raiser for more than 15 years. He insists that biblical stewardship means handling another's resources with integrity. After dealing with how stewardship is taught and modeled in homes and churches, he examines ethical, professional Christian fund raising. This is an excellent resource for ministry leaders, people involved in fund raising, and anyone wanting to study biblical stewardship."
