The word stewardship comes across as stale and mildly distasteful to many in the church today as a term limited in its scope to euphemistic conversations about financial giving. Yet, as Ronald Vallet points out, when the apostle Paul refers to "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Cor. 4:1), he's talking about something much deeper and richer than fund-raising. In Stewards of the Gospel Vallet recovers a more adequate understanding of Christian stewardship in light of both the New Testament and the realities facing today's church as it deals with challenges to justice, to the environment, and even to faith itself. He then applies his reinvigorated concept of stewardship in practical ways to congregations, to their pastors and leaders, and to the seminaries and denominational structures that mold and support those leaders. Enhancing Vallet's broad, gospel-oriented vision of stewardship are thoughtful responses from six seasoned theological educators: Daniel Aleshire, David L. Bartlett, Bruce C. Birch, Terry Parsons, Eugene F. Roop, and L. E. "Ted" Siverns.

Christ says, "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded." Luke 12:48. We live in an age of unparalleled resources and comfort. To the Christian this represents an opportunity and a responsibility. Christians have a tremendous opportunity to do the maximum amount of good to the maximum amount of people. We also have a responsibility to be good managers of all that God entrusts to us-time, abilities, health and finances. If you desire to become an increasingly excellent steward of all the resources God has given you, then you will benefit from reading Stewardship Mandate. Stewardship Mandate will give you a blueprint for living and making progress in the area of whole-life stewardship-making the most of time, abilities, health and finances. You will learn how to develop a stewardship plan for your life. This plan will help you set goals, monitor and track your progress in the crucial area of stewardship in your Christian life. J.C. Ryle says, "Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people." We will be asked to give an account of our stewardship at death. Will you be prepared to do so on the day you meet God?
