Counsels on Stewardship
Stewardship is properly managing the resources that God has committed to our care.
This volume gathers together all of Ellen White's published statements on the subject. Topics discussed include tithing, indebtedness, charity, making a will and soliciting funds from outside sources. What about speculating in the markets? Does God require us to dispose of our property? How can children be taught economy? What is the divine antidote for covetousness? God promises those who use the talent of wealth to bless others: “Give, and it shall be given unto you” (Luke 6:38). The inspired principles of sound economy in this volume will repay rich dividends.
You can't take it with you, but you can send it ahead before you go. This book tells you how.
