God's Money, Your Stewardship

Do you lie awake at 2 a.m. wondering if you have enough, even after years of saving carefully and giving faithfully?

Michael S. Stewart knows that feeling well. For most of his career he was a financial planner who happened to be a Christian. He went to church on Sunday and kept his faith out of his business the rest of the week. Then a hospital bed and a heart that needed repair changed how he saw everything. While studying for his Certified Kingdom Advisor® designation, he kept running into one phrase, "God owns it all," and this time it moved from his head to his heart.

God's Money, Your Stewardship is the book he wrote for Christians who already have the basics down. You know how to save, and you've built something. What you want now is a way to make financial decisions that honor God and still let you sleep at night.

Written as a conversation between friends rather than a sermon, the book takes on the questions Mike hears from clients all the time. Can you invest successfully while honoring God? What does the Bible really say about debt and taxes? How do you plan for retirement without hoarding out of fear? How much giving is enough? How do you prepare the next generation to be faithful stewards?

Using Scripture, his own financial fumbles and real client stories, Mike covers faith-based investing, biblical principles for debt and money management, taxes and qualified charitable distributions, retirement cash flow, generous giving and estate planning. He closes with LONG, the simple framework he uses with his own clients to pull it all together. Live within your means. Owe what you should. Nurture your resources. Give generously.

This isn't a budgeting book, and it won't promise you a worry-free life. It offers a different starting point, one where God is the owner and you are the manager, so your money decisions can come from peace instead of fear.
