This paper was originally presented to the leadership of Generous Giving to summarize three lessons that were learned from the Stewardship Study Notes Project.
Generous Giving’s Stewardship Study Notes are a passagebypassage thematic commentary covering issues of stewardship and generosity in all sixty six books of the Bible.
