"The Chief Steward" is a guide to developing the leadership skills needed to create a financial stewardship culture that transforms people into devoted followers of Christ.

More than fifty contributors—including Bill Bright, Ted Engstrom, Gene Getz, Joe Aldrich, Walter C. Kaiser Jr., Jill Briscoe, Earl Radmacher, and Carl F. H. Henry—offer advice to young leaders.

The dynamics of globalization and the speed of change have created greater complexity for Western missions. The Age of Global Giving provides accelerated learning for donors, church leaders, agency leaders, and mission workers. As a result, donors can achieve greater outcomes with deeper satisfaction in their giving and their voluntary work. Ministry workers can develop improved vision, values, and strategies that go further in creating sustainable impact and align with the donor values of today. It’s a new day in the relationship between donor and recipient, and it’s just in time because global mission is in dire need of this kind of cooperation.
