Product Overview
Although frequently misunderstood as a matter of church administration and finance, stewardship is an act of spiritual exercise and formation. Sometimes stewardship is regarded primarily from the church's need to receive gifts of time, talent, and treasure to sustain its programs and facilities. Sometimes stewardship is relegated to a limited season, as if there were other seasons in which the fullness and riches of life did not come from God and merit a joyous response. This Leader Reader focuses on how to properly understand stewardship as a year-round, all-season, spiritual endeavor primarily concerned with our need to give in joyous gratitude to God's gifts and in faithful response to Christ's call.
