The United Methodist Foundation of New England is delighted to announce that we have acquired permission to make available to all churches in the New England Conference this new stewardship resource entitled "Living for Giving" by Bishop Kenneth Carder. We believe this resource using the "Disciple Bible Study" format with video, study guide/workbook and life applications, will be a great complement to the "Faith & Money" ministry. We had used Bishop Carder's insights on Wesleyan theology of stewardship in developing our "Faith & Money" ministry; it is gratifying to now have this additional resource to offer our churches.
"Living for Giving" is a five-session study devoted to leading disciples on a journey to uncover the biblical and theological basis for the practice of stewardship as a spiritual discipline. It is a study that is perfect for small groups, Sunday School classes, and church leaders.
"Living for Giving" takes a format similar to that of Disciple Bible Study with a video portion and reflective work in a study guide. Each video session includes a narrative by Bishop Carder, questions for Biblical reference, and a life application dramatic vignette.
