stewardship and mission. Combining daily Bible reading with contemplative questions for each session, the study leads group members to consider ways for using the world's resources according to God's plan for sharing the Good News as Jesus commanded. The emphasis is on creative achievement redirected from destruction to preservation of the earth. While the program is planned for five two-hour small-group sessions, it can easily be adapted to ten one-hour sessions for larger congregation meetings. In addition to a comprehensive leader's guide, Van Benschoten includes a church self-study process that pastors can use to encourage participation by all members in the church's stewardship-mission activities.
