Stewardship: Living a Biblical Call is a `must' read for any person wanting to understand the difference between raising money for secular organizations and raising money for the church. Bernie reminds us that Christian stewardship is not about `asking for money' but rather about helping people understand their relationship to their money and moreover all the `gifts' that God has given them. Bernie Evans reminds us that in the final analysis stewardship is an `act of worship' to a God whose economy is one of `abundance' not `scarcity.' William K. Marsella, Director of Partner Relations, Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota This helpful volume provides a biblical and theological foundation for stewardship. Practical, clearly written, and accessible to a lay audience. The biblical story of creation reminds us that all of reality is a gift to be treated with respect, gratitude, and responsibility. The Bible Today Bernard Evans fleshes out the concept of Catholic stewardship as a multifaceted social responsibility. Starting with personal stewardship, Evans expands outward to include the ecology of the entire planet as God's sacred creation-which we are called to nurture and protect. St. Anthony Messenger This book explores the biblical and theological meaning of stewardship in conversation with the Bible, early Christian writers, and modern Catholic social teaching. It first addresses the general foundations of biblical stewardship. Then it explores more specific ways to think about and practice the general biblical call to stewardship.New Testament Abstracts
