Anabaptists have long understood that how one lives, rather than what he or she says, is the most accurate description of what one believes This is particularly true in the care of a Christian's use of money. The theological foundation for a Christian's view of money is clearly stated in A Christian View of Money. This volume could profitably be used as a new believer's guide to faith and doctrine. Author Mark Vincent refuses to bless either avarice or accumulation. Many will be challenged by his clear direction for change.

The author's vision for possessing land is a fresh alternative to the historical pattern of conquest and displacement of terrorized populations. Jeschke's careful reading of the biblical narrative offers a redeeming view for stewarding space on God's earth, a way we might call "salvation geography." God's design in salvation history is for a quality of life that sanctifies the whole earth.

 "You never quite know where you will find Lynn Miller-teaching in Nebraska, worshipping in Zimbabwe, studying in Chicago, or visiting at the bus station. But, where he is, Lynn notices relationships. The connective tissue between people, possessions, faith, finances, Scripture, culture, labor, and leisure captures his attention. Equipped with a healthy passion, Lynn mines these connections for meaning and promise. My appreciation of Lynn and his message grows as it is evident that the truth of God's 'enough' clearly shapes Lynn's daily life as well as his teaching and writing" --Ed Taylor, Ecumencial Stweardship Center, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Firstfruits Living means giving back to God off the top of our paycheck instead of what is left after expenses. It is giving God freely of our time, not what is left over after job and family responsibilities. It is giving God our lives, living each day as God's servants--on the job, in the community, and at home. This easy-reading stewardship study by Lynn A. Miller will promote lively discussion and renewed living.

Lynn A. Miller tells what happens when we open our hearts, wallets, schedules, businesses, or homes to others. These moving and sometimes hilarious true stories show the connection between God's stewardship and real people doing real things. They reveal the joy of a style of "firstfruits living" in which we give the best of what God has offered us back to God.

"A collection of parables, stories, and sermons that help us understand Jesus' teaching on faithful living. I am grateful to Miller for writing and living this book. Absolutely riveting."--June Alliman Yoder, Professor, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary

Enough? What a concept! Our society seems to say, "You Need More. More is better." Our Christian faith tells us not that we need less, but that everyone should have enough. A simple idea-enough for everyone. But what is enough?

Basic Trek invites us to explore that question. In thought and in experience. Each day of this 28-day journey starts with a story and Scripture followed by reflection questions to consider and actions to try. A different theme is featured for each of the four weeks. The first wee you will awaken to the journey to find enough joy, the second week you step out to explore enough simplicity, the third week you lighten the pack in your search for enough for me, and the fourth week you stay the course to discover enough for all.

Take this trek with friends-a youth group, a dorm wing, friends from church, or trek as a family-and venture into a world of enough.

Theology
Recent years have seen a shift in the belief that a religious world-view, specifically a Christian one, precludes a commitment to environmentalism. Whether as "stewards of God's creation" or champions of "environmental justice," church members have increasingly found that a strong pro-ecology stand on environmental issues is an integral component of their faith. But not all Christian denominations are latecomers to the issue of environmentalism. In Creation and the Environment, Calvin Redekop and his coauthors explain the unique environmental position of the Anabaptists.

In rural Amish and Mennonite communities, the authors explain, the environment—especially the land—is considered part of the Kingdom that God will establish on Earth. Creation and human history are thus seen as completely interdependent.

Based on Genesis 1 story of creation, Joanne Moyer uses the seven days of creation as a basis for exploring the aspects of our created world, how it is threatened, what is being done to protect it, and further actions that individuals, households, and congregations can take to live more sustainably. Moyer also explores how ecological concern and justice relate to Christian faith, delving into the Bible and a broad range of thinkers and writers to discover and celebrate the ecological imperative of our faith tradition.

Not only does creation reveal God and provide a place for encounter with God, but it praises God. The earth makes a joyful noise (Ps. 66:1) and sings a new song to the Lord (Ps. 96:1), trees clap their hands (Isa. 55:12), the sea roars, fields exult (Ps. 96:11-12) and hills sing together for joy (Ps. 98:8). Can you hear creation's praise in the song of the bird, in the roaring of the storm, in the waves lapping on the shore?

Stewardship is an attitude and practice taught in the Bible regarding all of one's possessions-time, money, abilities. But does stewardship have a place in our world? If so, Why?

This book brings together two voices from two vastly different parts of the world to talk about the subject. Bedru Hussein is from Ethiopia; Lynn Miller from the United States. They are both Christian leaders, but their exposure to and experiences with stewardship couldn't be at greater extremes. Their cultures' standards of living, income levels, frameworks, and histories are wildly different. Naturally, their setting and circumstances affect what they think the Old and New Testaments say about this issue.

This book is for those Christians who are hearing for the first time that their resources whatever their size, do not ultimately belong to them. The book is for those Christians who have heard that theme too often, who are exhausted by hearing that they have too much.

A group of stories concludes the book. They are life experiences from churches and individuals (from Belize, Indonesia, Paraguay, Ethiopia, and the U.S.) and show candidly how stewardship is practiced in these particular places today.
