God is always previous. The stewardship of life is our response to God. I am happy that the Lord has allowed me to come to this season of life before writing a book on stewardship. My influence can be put to better use after nearly half a century of walking with the Lord and coming both to a greater knowledge of Him and to a better understanding of His way with us. I pray that this book makes a difference in your life and in the lives of New Testament churches.
