Synopsis
Commitment and responsibility, stewardship and accountability
are words that we often shy away from in our postmodern culture. However,
the heart of the gospel message demands a total surrender of ourselves to
Christ and a devotion to him and his cause that is revolutionary to our
natural way of thinking. By considering the stewardship of our mind,
talents, time, faith, money and home, Brian Russell challenges the reader
regarding the thoroughness of their commitment to their Saviour. He shows
that the transformation of our entire beings -- from the way we think to
the way we handle our finances -- is the desire of God as he works by his
Holy Spirit in the heart of a Christian.
The practical implications of total commitment to Christ on our daily life
are also explored. From things like hospitality, tithing and worship, to
the development of godly character shown in humility, generosity and
faithfulness, these chapters are sure to challenge every believer, whether
you are a new Christian or one who has been following Christ for many
years. As the many angles of stewardship are opened up to us from
Scripture, it becomes clear that stewardship is not a burden but something
we can delight in and recognize in it the privilege and freedom that we
have to serve such a generous and kind God.
This title is the latest topical book in The Guide series. The aim of the
series is to communicate the Christian faith in a straightforward and
readable way. Each chapter is relatively short and concise, but also
contains questions for further study or group discussion as well as
suggestions for prayer. Brian Russell presents the concept of commitment to
Christ in a pastoral and personally challenging way. He shows that an
evaluation of the priority and depth of our commitment to Christ is a
barometer of our spiritual health and devotion.

Review
While we greatly value books on systematic theology, none of them
deal with daily practical living like this book does.
