Well Done

Is there more to stewardship than managing money? In Well Done, Reagan Rose shares a strategy for life stewardship.

The Call to Stewardship 

At just over 100 pages, this is a small yet mighty book. As a part of the Institute for the Christian Life Series from CLC Publications, it is packed with Scripture and excellently written. Rose shows that stewardship involves more than money – it is a calling upon your entire life.

As the founder of Redeeming Productivity, Rose is the perfect person to share about stewardship. Part 1 of the book is all about The Call to Stewardship. I was most interested to see that in the parable of the talents, the stewards didn’t just work for the master – but they were actually his slaves. The relationship between the slave and the steward is more like a household manager, and this gave new insight into how I am to manage or steward my own home, work, and ministry.

The Practice of Stewardship

Part 2 of the book examines The Practice of the Steward. Rose memorably calls us to steward our time, talents, and treasures. What I found most helpful was how Rose described “budgeting” our time. This was especially useful to me as I value the time I spend as a husband and father when I am at home. I was challenged to develop the habit of seeking opportunities that suit my abilities. This means to use my natural and spiritual talents well with wisdom.

The book concludes with an exhortation to faithful service and joyful stewardship. I am moved to make the most of what God has given me in terms of stewarding my life. I hope to hear him say well done!
