Counsels on Stewardship / White, Ellen G / (HB/1995-1995/BLU/New/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is new.*

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 market? Does God require us to dispose of our property? How can children be taught 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 how.
