"When the church embraces the responsibility of living as faith managers of God's vast resources [as Psalm 24:1 teaches], the community of faith will prosper."

So begins this practical and theological study of stewardship, both in the context of the African-American church tradition and beyond. After all, a systematic approach to stewardship undergirds the ministry and mission of the church universal.

A stewardship consultant, Amerson draws upon his experience to help churches

  • develop a theology of generosity;
  • define stewardship leadership roles;
  • celebrate the offering each week; and
  • establish endowment giving.
