Kingdom Stewardship

by Tony Evans

In Kingdom Stewardship, Dr. Tony Evans inspires you to broaden your perspective of Christian stewardship. In this encouraging and challenging book, you will learn that stewardship includes how you manage all that God has given you--your time, your talents, and your treasures--to advance God's kingdom and bring Him glory. While many stewardship books focus on managing financial resources, Tony Evans says that your finances are one small part of a much bigger calling. He teaches that God owns all things, and you are the manager of His assets. When you bring your entire life into alignment under God, you will be blessed with purpose and the abundant life that comes from living by God's eternal principles.

A helpful introduction to the kingdom of God and what it means to steward the time, talent, and treasure that God has given us. Dr. Evans is clear, insightful, and powerful in his writing. I'd recommend this book to a new believer or someone who doesn't feel like they have a good grasp on what God expects of us in the area of our finances.

My only critique is I didn't find the chapter titles or structure of the book very memorable. However, the content, especially the analogies and stories he uses to illustrate his points, was exceptional.

I was really wanting to absolutely love this book, but it was only OK.

The Biblical principles that Tony Evans brings in throughout the book are solid and reminders all Believers need. We own nothing that YHWH has not given to us, and even then we do not own it. He does. We are stewards who are to take care of what He has given us to steward whether it is time, money, resources, talents, gifts, family, or anything else. YHWH is Creator and He gets to decide what we have to steward and how we are to steward it.

The rest of the book I found hard to resonate with. Most of his examples were clearly from someone who has a lot of money to spend and steward and hard to connect with. Also, writing as a pastor it felt odd to me from a Scriptural perspective. After reading about him dropping everything on his most important work day to have lunch with the president of the U.S. I lost all the respect as he equated this meeting to one with the Creator. I just can't go there. Having learned a lot lately as I've been digging into Scripture and history among other areas of study with YHWH lately, I realized this man is likely not who he says he is. (IYKYK)

I do recommend this book for the Biblical principles stated. I have friends who absolutely love it. But realizing this man is part of the bigger club I say read it with Scripture in hand and Holy Spirit in your ear. We need good stewardship as part of discipleship, that's Scripture! But we need to be learning it from true men and women of YHWH whenever possible, and there are to many inconsistencies here.

Thank You, Dr. Evans, again

I read portions of Kingdom Man with the Men and Boys Ministry of my church. Reading Kingdom Stewardship has given me so much more. I have marked many passages in this book and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I have a pathway for living and giving. Thank you, again, Dr. Evans!

I loved this book. It took me a while to read because I didn't want to rush the concepts but I felt challenged and encouraged in equal measure. This book pushed me to get outside my comfort zone and start volunteering my time within my community.

Good book. Practical and Biblically.

[Jennifer Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lays out a straight forward Biblical perspective on being a steward of what God has given us, why he asks this of us and why it is critical we follow through.
