Giving to God Mark Allan Powell

I bought this book to prepare myself for a stewardship chairperson position within my Lutheran church. It is very, very clear. It is very much bible based, giving many passages of reference. It gives wonderful ideas regarding stewardship and loving God. It was even more than I expected! I plan to have each committee member read it. If we are all fired up about stewardship and what God expects of us, perhaps we can get our congregtion fired up as well.

Stewardship

This book is a quick read but powerful conceptually for helping us to transform our thinking about God and who He is. It is about stewardship and understanding that everything belongs to God. Stewardship is an act of worship, expression of faith and a discipline for spiritual growth. It is important that we not on be good stewards in terms of finances but also in terms of our time and talents.

Fantastic - Brilliant

I really enjoyed reading this book. The very unique but biblical position that the author takes on giving is totally refreshing. So many books just want to press on with tithing or guilt trip stewardship, but this refreshing look at the whole concept made me want to give even more - not just money but time. We all need to consider that everything we have is a gift from God and how we use all of these gifts (not just 10%) is important.

Review of Giving to God

This is a great book on stewardship. It's easy to read and provides good news on the subject from a completely different perspective than I have ever heard before. I am using this book in adult Christian Education classes and it is overwhelmingly positively regarded. Mark Allen Powell is a superb author with keen insight and fresh perspective. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent Resource

I am a pastor of a congregation and we are using this as a congregational-wide discussion on the theology of stewardship. What I treasure about this book is that it starts with a good theological background before getting into nuts and bolts sorts of issues. Because Powell argues that all of life is about stewardship, this book is an excellent read for those who are tired of seeing people who only associate stewardship with church fundraising.
