A Forgotten Subject

The church of today has ignored, to their own peril, the subject of stewardship. This book, if studied by lay and clergy alike, could bring the subject back to the center point it should enjoy.

This Book is not penned by an ivory-towered recluse!

For three decades, Ben Gill has been in the arena where stewardship actually happens. He has seen firsthand the Spirit of God explode in some of the world's greatest and largest congregations with an outpouring of new stewardship. He has witnessed the heartache of misplaced stewardship and the victory of renewed stewardship. He is the incarnation of modern biblical stewardship.This book belongs in every theological library, seminary, college, and university, and on the shelf of every pastor. The informed layperson and congregational leader should have it at hand.As one who has seen God act through and on Christian stewards the world over, I commend this volume to the reading public.Dr. Robert Schuller The Crystal Cathedral Ministries Pasadena, CA

It is Time to Unload

I know Ben Gill. His experience and integrity qualify him to author this reflective work. He suggests that our comprehension of biblical stewardship mirrors our most important attitudes and values. Jesus knew this. He spoke of money and other possessions and their symbolism more often than most other topics. Americans are the world's greatest collectors of things. Our temporal piles of materials and emotionally dependent 'junk' blind us to the liberating truth of Christian living only available by distribution and management of our things. Gill says we can invest in eternity and begin to unload!Dr. Del Tarr, President Assemblies of God, Theological Seminary, Springfield, MO.

A Professor

Who is Gill? This book was so intelligent and logical in its presentation that it had to come from the pen of a theological professor of some significance. I have a graduate degree in theology and never once did biblical stewardship make this much sense to me.Whoever you are Dr. Gill. Thank you.

A Crisis of Stewardship

The American churches are now facing a crisis of stewardship. This has been a neglected theme and truth in pulpits of all denominations. Our materialistic society has spawned materialistic churches. We should welcome a serious biblical recovery of this urgent responsibility - Christian Stewardship.Dr. Albert Mohler, President Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Louisville, KY
