The Sower

The Sower:
Redefining the Ministry of Raising Kingdom Resources
By R. Scott Rodin and Gary G. Hoag (ECFA Press, 2010)
“Part of our journey is cultivating hearts that will make a free and joyous response to our call to be godly stewards, rather than a sense of legal obligation. It requires us to sow good seed into the lives of our supporters. And it begins with us. Again, we cannot sow what we do not have. Our seed bags must be full. So which type of response best typifies your own attitude of giving? Are you a joyful giver? Do you give out of the deep gratitude and joy of your heart? Can you hardly wait to respond to what God has done in your life?” –R. Scott Rodin, from the book
