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 Blue, Founder or Co-founder of Blue & Co, National Chrisitan Foundation, and Kingdom AdvisorsRoy 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. Eisenberg, President, National Chrisitan Foundation Lancaster Office In 'The Good Steward, ' Tim and Roy Russell provide a deeply biblical and refreshingly practical guide to managing wealth with wisdom and faith. Their framework of the Five Biblical Financial Priorities offers a clear, scriptural approach to financial decision-making-one that leads not only to greater financial stability but also to a deeper trust in God rather than our wealth. This book powerfully affirms that wise stewardship and generous giving are not in conflict but are, in fact, essential partners in the life of a faithful believer. My prayer is that those who apply these timeless principles will one day hear the words, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.' I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to align their financial life with God's eternal purposes.-Rob West, CEO, Kingdom Advisors and Host of the nationally syndicated radio show Faith & Finance with Rob West
