MONEY. STEWARDSHIP. LEADERSHIP.

How do they fit together?

Becoming a Steward Leader explores what it means to go beyond prevailing paradigms on money and possessions to embrace a biblical view of stewardship. This book will fundamentally change the way you think, lead, and live. It will help leaders equip others to be rich towards God by living as biblical stewards.

The experienced thought leaders who contributed to this book reflect on their life's work in stewardship thinking and application. They share insights, counsel, concerns, and aspirations for the emerging generation of Christian leaders.

Becoming a Steward Leader advocates resource development as transformative ministry in the life of the giver, rather than as a transactional act aimed simply at acquiring funds.
