Description

The book Stewards Not Owners goes beyond the traditional Christian concept of tithinggiving 10% of our incometo encourage readers to consider a new paradigm, that everythingour time, talents, treasures, relationshipsbelong to the Lord, but they are still ours for us to use with joy and creativity.

Stewardship is a word we dont hear very often . . . until our church needs to build a new building. But does Scripture say more about stewardship than that Is there more to managing our money for Gods kingdom than we realize

In Stewards Not Owners, Bill and Dana Wichterman challenge conventional views on wealth and giving, encouraging Christ-followers to put all their financial muscles to work for the Lord. Rather than focusing on simply giving away 10 percent of their income, Bill and Dana challenge readers to activate 100 percent of their wealth and wealth-creating potential for kingdom goals.

The Wichtermans also reveal:

• How to incorporate your faith into your financial decisions.
• Why God calls us to save while cautioning us against hoarding.
• The need for financial openness and transparency in our faith communities.
• How faithful Christians are inadvertently funding companies and initiatives that actively work against biblical values.
• How to creatively use your charitable giving to build Christ-centered businesses.
• Strategies for aligning your personal wealth-building goals with your heavenly calling to expand Gods kingdom.

Drawing on years of personal research, relationships, and experience, Bill and Dana also share the inspiring stories of twenty-four individuals who have fully embraced a lifestyle of radical stewardship.

Surrendering all your finances to God doesnt have to mean living a dull, joyless, monastic life. As youll discover in Stewards Not Owners, you can enjoy Gods financial blessings while still using them to expand His kingdom and lead a life of true abundance and eternal significance!
