The current global economic crisis demands a careful look at personal stewardship of all financial resources. The enquiring Christian mind is obviously attempting to link current financial and related events to many Biblical prophecies concerning the End-Times. The financial power of the European Union, the weakening of the American dollar, the behind-the scenes moves to control the world by certain European financial barons, the European army in place, and the hatred for the "Fig Tree," are some of the issues this book addresses from a historical and Biblical perspective. God's idea of financial stewardship is examined from both the Spiritual and Natural angles, beginning at the garden of Eden, and ending with contemporary economic challenges. Included in this approach is a discussion on the history of banking in the United States. This paves the way for a better understanding of the secular vehicles of stewardship such as Freedom from Debt, Retirement Planning, Budgeting, Saving, Investing, and the nuances of Wills and Trusts. Simultaneously, the importance of Kingdom principles are advanced to demonstrate the relevance of spiritual mores which govern excellent financial stewardship. In the final analysis, this book serves to demonstrate why we need to manage God's finances carefully as we link the Spiritual with the Natural means of stewardship to serve in God's End-Time plan of reconciling the world to Himself.
