“The power of money in our lives is too great to view stewardship as managing finances by simply moving money from one column to another.

David P. King, Karen Lake Buttrey Director of Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, which is part of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University, from his chapter in Beyond the Offering Plate: A Holistic Approach to Stewardship
