About the Book

Stewards, Not Owners goes beyond the traditional concept of tithing – giving 10% of our income – to encourage readers to consider the biblical paradigm – that all of our money belongs to the Lord, but it is still ours to purposefully steward with joy and creativity.

Being a Christian is not the secret to happiness on earth. But as Dana and Bill Wichterman show, giving like a Christian just might be. Read Stewards, Not Owners and start your journey to a better life.

The Wichtermans’ book underscores a truth that’s deeply important to me: we are stewards of God’s gifts to us, and with those gifts come corresponding responsibilities to others. We who live in wealthy western economies have been given the opportunity to humbly support and care for the poor and the powerless – and this opportunity is joyful, not drudgery. Jesus was right when He said, ‘It’s better to give than to receive.

I've grown up with the belief that generosity is important and godly, and I don't think that's a controversial thought. But with Stewards, Not Owners, the Wichtermans offer a beautiful and vital template for HOW to be generous. I wish I'd had this book 20 years ago; it's essential you read it now.

Money is a blessing, but can quickly turn into an idol. In Stewards, Not Owners, Bill and Dana offer their personal insights into the principles they live by that can transform wealth into a force for good in the Kingdom of God.

Dana and Bill Wichterman combine a powerful personal testimony of joyful stewardship with an immensely practical guide for others who also long to hear the words “well done.” Their invitation to leverage all of our resources - including our investment portfolios - to multiply God's kingdom is an important and timely challenge. I hope Dana & Bill's story leads many others to find the joy and peace they've found in freely stewarding God's resources.
