The Good Steward: Biblical Principles of Wealth Management - Paperback

by Tim Russell (Author), Roy Russell (Author)

The Good Steward, by Tim Russell and Roy Russell is a transformative guide inviting readers to rethink wealth as a means to worship, rather than as personal gain. With a fresh take on Biblical stewardship, it unveils the true role of money: a resource God entrusts to us for our intentional, purposeful management. Through relatable stories and timeless biblical wisdom, the authors reveal the "worship problem" that often places money above God. They challenge readers to reshape their financial lives around five priorities: giving, saving, responsible spending, generosity, and enjoyment in God's blessings. The Good Steward is a roadmap to fulfillment and peace. By placing faith at the center of financial decisions, we build a legacy of purpose and devotion.

Endorsement:

I have been asked more times than I can count how to increase generosity in the church. The reality is that generosity is a function of one thing and that is faithful Stewards functioning as faithful stewards with the financial resources entrusted to them by our Lord and Savior. As Tim points out however, stewardship really begins with the recognition of God's ownership of all resources, you can't be a steward over something that you own. I've often taught and preached a message that Tim repeats very well and that is that we need to help Christians in the transformation of their heart and minds to one of stewardship of everything. I recommend this book as not only challenging spiritually but also extraordinarily practical. It communicates well how to practice faithful stewardship with financial resources. It is the only way that anyone can experience financial freedom.-Ron BlueRoy and Tim's commitment to teaching Biblical Stewardship is well-documented. This very readable book provides a mix of biblically based concepts, practical applications, and stories from their life for those who've not gotten to their seminar or just want a refresher. I particularly appreciate their expansion of the concept of stewardship to include time, expertise and networks. And the chapter on the power, and importance, of teaching these principles to children and grandchildren feels particularly timely.-Jon D.
