The CNI Stewardship Committee asked Rev. G.H. and Mrs. E.F. Grose to write a book for young people who had newly been confirmed or accepted Adult Baptism. They wanted to help young Christians absorb the idea of Stewardship - that faith must be lived out of responsibility in our everyday situation. We have been given life, the Gospel, many other resources etc., as a gift and we are accountable to God for what we do with them. Besides knowing the history of our Church and its doctrine, we have to understand how to make decisions about relationships, the use of our time and money and above all, how to grow our faith. Rev. & Mrs. Grose's book will help young people grow as Christian stewards. It is a sequel to thr book "Stepping Stones of the Steward" by Rev. Dr. Ronald E. Vallet, published last year.

The author takes Jesus's parables and shows how they can be stepping stones to understand God's purpose and bring us to Christian maturity as stewards. The book is full of new insights and stories and each chapter is followed by challenging questions to that it can be used by individuals or in bible study groups.
