STEWARDSHIP IS MORE THAN TIME, TALENT, AND THINGS

A New Agenda

by C. NEIL STRAIT

"Stewardship is life-size...It does not end with paying the tithe. As good stewards, no part of our lives can be untouched. Talents, time, attitudes, actions, resources, relationships, mission, suffering, work, leisure--the list goes on and on...Stewardship is not a contemporary buzzword. It speaks too much of accountability, restriction, and sharing, which are not popular ideas in a secular-oriented society. Exploring stewardship is the last thing some want to do, mainly because it invades the comfort zones of life. But we must guard against thinking that no one is interested in the stewardship of life. I believe there is a thirst in the land for the sacred, deeper things of life, and that the area of stewardship is higher on the agenda of modern people than we think."

(C. Neil Strait, from the book's back cover)

NOTES FROM THE BOUNTIFUL BOOKSHELVES' STAFF:

To the best of our ability, it is our goal to provide books for sale that enrich the life and character of the readers, whether it be by teaching, broadening the human experience, or recreating the soul and spirit. We attempt to choose those that align with our values of good and godlike character and morality in living. Many of our books come from sources who we believe share our same values, but others do not, and even though we try to screen all the books we sell to know the gist of what they are about, and get an idea about the intent and character of the author, it is impossible for us to always be sure that every book we list comes completely up to our standards, since we cannot possibly read every page of every book. Thanks for understanding!
