Book excerpt: As Christians, we possess a large amount of responsibility to steward the resources we've been blessed with well. This can be especially difficult in the midst of financial pressure. While God doesn't need money to perform miracles, we need money to survive.

What if you could confidently manage money in a way that glorified the Father? You can. In The Stewardship Movement, you will uncover the lies penetrating the Christian community in regard to money. You will walk away equipped with the truth you need to combat these lies and grow. You will gain useful tools that you can utilize to manage your personal finances in an effort to bring awareness to this issue that has been hiding in the dark. It is time to shine a light on this topic, it is time to debunk the lies that are holding millions of Christians back from understanding why they aren't advancing-it is time to live free!
Book Synopsis Beyond Stewardship by : David P. Warners
Download or read book Beyond Stewardship written by David P. Warners and published by . This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Stewardship & the Economy of God by : John H. Reumann
Download or read book Stewardship & the Economy of God written by John H. Reumann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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 characteristic erudition-biblical scholarship, classical and historical reflection, and contemporary application-john Reumann shows how oikonomia has been a recurring theme in the Christian life. It appears now again as 'stewardship,' and Reumann' s exhaustive investigation will help the church respond to its far-reaching imperative." -NORMAN A. HJELM, Faith and Order, National Council of Churches "For many Christians the term stewardship means fund-raising. Paradoxically, with the advent of the environmental movement, it has acquired another sense: stewardship as care for the earth. In this learned but accessible book John Reumann shows how the modem 'secular' use of the term actually derives from the Bible and Christian tradition... He constructs a theology of stewardship that is at once faithful to the Scriptures and applicable to the lives of Christians today." -ROBERT L WILKEN, University of Virginia

Download or read book Stewardship written by John G. Taft and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling argument for why stewardship of wealth and service to others should be our highest financial priority Stewardship is the journey of financial insider John Taft towards understanding and affirming the importance of stewardship—which he has come to define as "serving others"—as a core principle for the financial services industry, the global financial system, and society at large. By defining the attributes of authentic stewardship, this book presents a path forward by analyzing the success of Canadian banks in weathering the financial crisis; evaluates the effectiveness of global financial reform efforts in making the financial system safer, sounder, and more secure; offers wealth management prescriptions for individual investors; evaluates the potential of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investment processes as a way to instill stewardship behaviors among corporate CEOs (particularly at financial services firms); and, ultimately, calls for a return to stewardship's core principles as the key to not only minimizing the scope and consequences of future failures, but also to addressing other societal challenges. Argues for a return towards stewardship, with financial services companies doing right by their customers Analyzes the response of Canadian banks to the financial crisis to provide meaningful advice for investors and businesses alike Inspired by Taft's experience running one of the largest wealth management firms in the country during the financial crisis and his direct participation in subsequent legislative and regulatory efforts to rewrite the rules under which the U.S. securities industry operates From the man who made the decision to reimburse clients affected by the collapse of a money market mutual fund comes a compelling look at why financial service companies should start doing what's right for their customers.

Book Synopsis The Stewardship of Higher Education by : David M. Callejo Perez
Download or read book The Stewardship of Higher Education written by David M. Callejo Perez and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the entrepreneurial nature of universities—in particular, the relationship between education and health in relation to development and wellness of communities—this volume provides a description/narration of the efforts in how universities can address their shifting contexts while engaging their communities in social change. In the development of this book, we have explored how reforms in American higher education are impacting the role of universities and their faculty. Contributors were asked to imagine possibilities for research and outreach by providing salient examples of how higher education can lead and change how we view the role of health and education within institutions and society. Each author writes across common themes that address the problems and possibilities of higher education curriculum and projects aligned with the mission of stewardship. The authors highlight interdisciplinary approaches and projects for faculty work, modification of the Teaching-Research-Service expectations, and community initiatives that can emerge from real-life problems (to impact wellbeing) and create rich and deep research possibilities for practitioners to impact both higher education and society. The process and research approaches used by the authors include imagining the community as part of a process of the change and part of what changes, exploring how community change can build on the strengths of local people, and why community organization and advocacy should revolve around social learning and community capacity theories. Given the diversity of topics and approaches, as editors we have tried to honour both the authors’ words and style in expressing their opinions to provide a forum for the readers to envision stewardship.

Book Synopsis Stewards of the Earth by : Christianity Today
Download or read book Stewards of the Earth written by Christianity Today and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years of evangelical thought on creation care Evangelicals have a complex relationship with environmentalism. Some lament the church's apparent disinterest in humanity's negative impact upon the earth. Others denounce environmentalism as a distraction from the church's mission. In the face of polarization over the issue, how should evangelicals steward creation well? Stewards of the Earth collects five decades of articles from Christianity Today that display the diversity and development of evangelical perspectives on creation care. Some articles address the concerns evangelicals have over cooperating with the broader environmentalist movement or lay out positive ways to navigate or overcome these hesitations. Other articles present constructive approaches to creation care. Readers will gain a nuanced view of evangelical thought over the decades. With a new introduction by Loren Wilkinson and contributions from writers like Bill McKibben, Ronald Sider, Leslie Leyland Fields, and Andy Crouch, these essays preserve the wisdom of the past to provide insight for the future.
Book Synopsis Urban Environmental Stewardship and Civic Engagement by : Dana R. Fisher
Download or read book Urban Environmental Stewardship and Civic Engagement written by Dana R. Fisher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once considered the antithesis of a verdant and vibrant ecosystem, cities are now being hailed as highly efficient and complex social ecological systems. Emerging from the streets of the post-industrial city are well-tended community gardens, rooftop farms and other viable habitats capable of supporting native flora and fauna. At the forefront of this transformation are the citizens living in the cities themselves. As people around the world increasingly relocate to urban areas, this book discusses how they engage in urban stewardship and what civic participation in the environment means for democracy. Drawing on data collected through a two-year study of volunteer stewards who planted trees as part of the MillionTreesNYC initiative in the United States, this book examines how projects like this can make a difference to the social fabric of a city. It analyses quantitative survey data along with qualitative interview data that enables the volunteers to share their personal stories and motivations for participating, revealing the strong link between environmental stewardship and civic engagement. As city governments in developed countries are investing more and more in green infrastructure campaigns to change the urban landscape, this book sheds light on the social importance of these initiatives and shows how individuals’ efforts to reshape their cities serve to strengthen democracy. It draws out lessons that are highly applicable to global cities and policies on sustainability and civic engagement.

Book Synopsis Stewardship in the New Testament Church by : Holmes Rolston

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our churches are sadly in need of the stewardship program that is inevitable if this book is given serious study. I can think of no greater contribution that could be made to the whole cause of missions, both at home and abroad, than the study of this volume in all the churches. The present crisis in world affairs--nay, the crisis in the church itself--calls for a new dedication of life and substance to the cause of Christ. This is the objective that I find running through these pages, and the least I can do is to commend it to all those who are concerned that the church achieve a new and greater impetus as it must now meet the larger demands that are upon it."-- Mark A. Dawber, from the foreword
