Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky. Now it’s 1838. Steven and Amanda have not been able to get back into Verdura for two years, no matter what they’ve done. They don’t know if promises made there have come true or if something terrible has happened. But things have changed in Kentucky. Amanda’s grown older and her father wants her to marry a young man who’s a cruel bully. Daddy thinks she’ll change him. Huh! She wants nothing to do with him. But her father’s insistent. Plus, Amanda has no idea what’s happened to Joshua and Marie. Letters from them stopped coming some time ago. And then there’s that peculiar ‘amusement’ someone is putting on in downtown Glasgow, Kentucky, a weird phenomenon hyped by a creepy mustachioed tinker who doesn’t have any pots or pans to sell. Join Joshua, Marie, Amanda and Steven in their second Verduran adventure. Yeah. This one could also be fatal. Or worse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I think of all my possessions to include any wealth in savings or retirement funds-my home and cars; my health, the strength of my body and mind; all that I have accomplished; my talents, titles, or degrees-is there anything that I can claim aside from the magnificent grace of God? Anything? For me, there is nothing that I can claim. Since I came into this world with nothing and will leave with nothing, I am but a steward of God, the One who owns it all. I am the King's keeper and accountable to the King. This King is my precious Savior, Jesus. To gain a better understanding of my role as steward, it is necessary for me to renew my mind and reflect upon what God's Word says about stewardship. To prepare for His return, the King's Keeper will help me discover: 1. those characteristics of the life of a good steward that are pleasing to the King and that will help me demonstrate faithful service without reason for question; 2. how I can steward God's creation; 3. how to steward myself and understand the proper alignment of the body, soul, and spirit for kingdom service; 4. how I can steward my time so that it is pleasing to my heavenly Father, being all about His business; 5. how I can take an honest look at my attitude and behavior concerning my possessions and come into alignment with the desires of the King; 6. how I can steward God's Word and be found faithfully administering the mysteries of the Word of God in love, always giving the glory to Him; 7. how I can steward God's manifold grace and be found fully operating in the gifts in which I have been given for kingdom service; 8. how I can engage my community as a kingdom representative; and 9. how I can tend to the precious relationships in which I have been trusted. A steward must always be ready for the master's return, and the King may return at any time!

Book excerpt: Though nearly a dozen years had passed they hadn’t gotten back to Verdura. They supposed they never would. But life had moved on for Joshua, Marie, Amanda and Steven. For one thing, they were all married with at least one kid; and those kids were almost as old as they had been the first time they were in Verdura. They had lives, though––truth to tell––lives not as exciting as their times in Verdura had been. Sometimes they struggled to find meaning in the mundane after the momentous events in which they had participated. Things had moved on in Verdura, as well. Centuries, in fact. It had become dark. Almost all the time. And very few of the friends they had known as children remained––even though their lives should have been as long as that of their sun. The remaining people were at odds with one another. Tyranny had overcome most of them, madness––so it was said––the rest. Enemies had multiplied and triumphed. And once again, it was the children who were sent to help. Or maybe they were sent mostly to watch. Because, as always, Ispri had everything well in hand. Or did he? The world was breaking up, dissolving before their eyes. There seemed no way to overcome the enemies. There were new enemies they’d never seen, and many of the people were enemies. So how could they explain this buoyancy they felt? This optimism? This expectation? And how did this new person, this little empress of China, so she seemed to think of herself, and her pet dragon, fit into all this? Besides, of course, they’d eventually have to go back to earth. How was that going to work out? Would they get back before Verdura collapsed completely and them with it? This really was their last adventure.

Download or read book The Servant Steward s Handbook written by Larry and Susan Gay and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Servant-leadership is really servant-stewardship. The term "servant-steward" describes effective leaders who: follow the wise counsel in 1 Kings 12:7: If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them...they will always be your servants; and recognize that the individuals they lead are not "their" people, but people for whom they have been given a stewardship responsibility. Whether you are a team leader, shift manager, sales executive, school principal, pastor, CEO of a Fortune 500 company or leader of volunteers, you have a servant-stewardship responsibility for the people you lead. Your job as a leader is to steward the skills, gifts and interests of each person under your supervision, helping them to be effective in their work and contribute to something that aligns with their sense of purpose in life. This handy desktop reference offers practical tips for dealing with the issues veteran or novice leaders face in any organization, including: selecting good people, evaluating their work, dealing with difficult people, handling criticism, leading multi-generational teams, building unity, managing conflict, supervising cross-cultural teams, building cohesive teams separated by long distances, administering effective corrective action (not just punishment), leading great team meetings, building trust in the organization, using a coaching approach to supervision, and more. The Servant-Steward's Handbook shows how the character and characteristics of servant-stewards, described by the Apostle Paul in his letters to Timothy and Titus, are still relevant today for training effective leaders in any business, industry or ministry in any culture. The most effective leaders and supervisors are servant-stewards who: see their role as more than a job--it is a calling. are persons of integrity, a model for others in their teaching and their practice. continually seek to grow in their own faith and self-awareness of their strengths and liabilities. have an observably close walk with the Lord. define and apply any authority or administer corrective action consistent with a strong biblical foundation. show genuine concern for the people they lead and provide appropriate help for them to flourish. know how to deal appropriately with conflicts. know they cannot do the job by themselves. build trust by showing their trustworthiness. stand up for what is right, even when they stand alone. recognize, respect and submit to the authority of others over them. focus on positive goals. prepare for succession, gathering the right people to join them in the task. encourage others to work from their strengths with confidence. give honor and recognition for the good work of those they lead. build a culture of people who are not obsessed by the law or policies, but who see the practicality of principles which underlie the law. These are some of the key characteristics drawn from the Letters of Paul to Timothy and Titus. Part Two of the Handbook includes notes from a group exegesis that serves as a commentary on the three letters. If you are new to the role of supervisor, study the context on which these values and principles are built, take personal ownership of what the Handbook is saying and learn to be an effective servant-steward of the people you have been given to lead.

Download or read book The Steward written by Douglas John Hall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-07-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical image of the steward is highly provocative and even revolutionary. In recent years, environmentalists and peace marchers have been discovering the radical potential of the stewardship motif, while the church, sadly, has muffled this symbol's power in ecclesiastical wrappings. So writes Douglas John Hall in the first edition of 'The Steward' (1982). This provocative book has been so much in demand all over the world that Hall has completely rewritten, revised, and expanded his work, adding new material and deleting dated references. Yet Hall has kept his original book's basic format the same in this new and improved edition. In short, Hall aims to recapture the most basic meaning of the biblical metaphor of the 'steward' and to apply that meaning to our social context, one in which human beings are confused and ambivalent about their place and vocation in a threatened world. Working from numerous angles - biblical, historical, sociological, theological, and ecclesiastical - Hall explores the rich meaning and implications of stewardship. Scripture portrays the steward as a caretaker and servant. Hall compares scriptural teaching on stewardship - concentrated in Jesus' parables - with the role of stewardship in the church's history, maintaining that ever since the fourth century, the church's understanding and practice of stewardship have been distorted by its alliance with institutional power. Hall also puts forth apocalyptic warnings about the fate of the earth unless we heed the call to be stewards of the creation, work for world peace and justice, and nurture life in its many forms. The church around the world, says Hall, urgently needs to live as 'steward' - it is a matter of death and life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Steward Living in Covenant discusses the theme of stewardship from a fruitful new perspective. Ronald Vallet explores Old Testament stories from creation to Isaiah, linking the life of the steward to the theme of covenant -- a first for books in this area. Written as an Old Testament parallel to Vallet's acclaimed Stepping Stones of the Steward, this book reclaims the Old Testament foundations of a fully biblical theology of stewardship. Vallet looks especially at the promise and command aspects of God's covenant with his people as a vital dimension of what it means to be a genuine steward.
