    About this ebook

    Do you want to hear the words: “Well done, good and faithful steward”? For most, the answer is yes. But when mortgages, grocery bills, vacations, and Christmas presents compete with our giving in the monthly budget, being good stewards of God’s money is often easier said than done.

    Through ten weeks of insightful lessons (including short video segments and using key biblical references), Good and Faithful will help both individuals and groups navigate the often-complex task of handling money faithfully on earth, which also prepares us to give an account of our stewardship to God in eternity. Teaching includes:

    • Biblical instruction on money and stewardship

    • Tips on how to earn income, save money, and give generously

    • Advice on budgeting, borrowing, and other financial matters

    By the final lesson, you will grasp abundant living like never before, and your service will bear fruit that glorifies God!

      Good and Faithful - Gary G. Hoag

      Gary Hoag is passionate about pointing people toward God’s truth in their lives. He knows and understands what the Bible says about how we should relate to money and possessions, and wants us all to live in accordance with those truths. Good and Faithful is a tremendous resource for helping Christians gain a clear understanding of what God’s Word says about how we relate to money. I believe that if we all study and apply the truths set out by Dr. Hoag in this book, our lives, families, and churches will be transformed.

      —Michael Blue

      Executive Director of the Ron Blue Institute

      Seeing, hearing, reading, reflecting, writing, and doing! How much more engaged could one become while developing a life of generosity? Not much of the human sensory experience is left unaddressed in Gary’s workbook/video series, Good and Faithful. It’s refreshing! The Generosity Monk has simplified the journey for us.

      —Dave Carder

      Counseling Ministries Pastor

      First Evangelical Free Church, Fullerton, California

      Author of Torn Asunder

      Among the many stewardship studies available today around the world, Good and Faithful stands out! It contains a unique blend of short videos, profound quotes from our favorite saints through the centuries, and thoughtful study questions. After going through it, you will discover that Gary does more than help us discern the difference between the world’s way of thinking and what God’s Word teaches about money. He graciously teaches us how to grasp abundant life in God’s economy.

      —Sung Wook Chung, DPhil (Oxford University)

      Professor of Christian Theology and Director of Korean Initiatives

      President, Kurios International

      How the world views work and wealth is often in stark contrast to God’s economy. As a result, many people struggle financially, feel stressed, and are unable to share with others in need. In Good and Faithful, Hoag helps us understand what a life rooted in generosity and stewardship looks like. Through core practices rooted in Scripture, this excellent resource will help us reflect Christ as we steward His resources biblically.

      —Rollie Dimos

      CIA, CFE, CISA—Internal Audit Director

      The General Council of the Assemblies of God

      The church desperately needs helpful studies from trusted teachers who provide down-to-earth biblical instruction. Gary Hoag delivers once again and fills that gap. Good and Faithful goes beyond teaching people how to manage God’s money. This must-use resource shapes readers into fruitful disciples.

      —Tim Dittloff

      Director, Stewardship Innovations

      Gary Hoag has put together a wise and helpful guide regarding key themes and important questions focused on one’s understanding of finances and faithful stewardship. This commendable and user-friendly resource has been carefully designed for use by church groups as well as individual Christians in order to enable them to better connect what is heard on Sunday with what is lived out on Monday. I applaud the author and the publisher for their work in making this practical tool available for God’s people. I know that readers will be helped and strengthened as they work through these ten applicable lessons in this very important aspect of the Christian life.

      —David S. Dockery

      President, Trinity International University

      There is no time like the present for Dr. Hoag’s study, Good and Faithful. It is a must-read in every church and in every small group. Gary has a passion to equip and challenge every believer to be life-long followers of Jesus and help them learn to be good stewards of all the gifts God has given them.

      —Peter Fiorello

      Executive Director, Black Rock Retreat

      Quarryville, Pennsylvania

      This study will change your life! Gary is one of the best teachers I have ever heard or read. His passion and knowledge lead him to make a difference in the lives of everyone who sits under his teaching. When he has spoken at the Stewardship Summit everyone in attendance is riveted to his teaching. I have quoted his work many times in my work with ministries. I implore every leader, whether in a church, small group, or faith-based nonprofit, to use this study in your own life, and in your work with all who are called to follow Jesus. This workbook and videos will make an impact around the world. Well done my friend!

      —Dr. John R. Frank

      Coach & Consultant

      Founder, Stewardship Summit

      One of the biggest lessons I have learned in thirty years of serving among the poor people in the garbage dump of Guatemala City has been to teach about biblical stewardship instead of worrying about provision. The Lord released me with His Word taught by Dr. Gary Hoag. Now I remind staff to make good use of the assets and equipment that the Lord provides for the ministry and to encourage others to participate with us with what they have. Go through Good and Faithful and share it with others. It will equip you to serve the Lord with freedom and gratitude.

      —Gladys Güitz

      Co-Founder, Potter’s House Association International

      Gary illuminates deeply rooted biblical truths animated by his own radical commitment to living the principles he speaks and writes about in this book. I highly recommend Good and Faithful as a holistic and practical look at biblical stewardship. Engage the content and allow the Holy Spirit to continue to shape you into the generous and free person He desires each of us to be!

      —Todd Harper

      President, Generous Giving

      In this day and age, we are inundated by many voices but we are called to listen to that one still voice. In Good and Faithful, Hoag does a fantastic job of synthesizing that one voice from Genesis to Revelation regarding God’s design around money, work, giving, saving, and much more. I love the videos and the discussion questions that help us build a practical theology for everyday living so that in the end we can hear Well done, good and faithful steward from our Lord!

      —Daryl Heald

      Founder, Generosity Path

      Good and Faithful is the essential workbook for anyone who desires to steward personal resources aligned with God’s design. Dr. Gary Hoag immerses you in the biblical truth that will change the way you live, love, and give!

      —Tami Heim

      President and CEO, Christian Leadership Alliance

      More than a book about how to get out of debt or how to grow in generosity, this material helps Christ-followers pursue good and faithful living rooted in a biblical theology of faithful stewardship. Dig in to gain insights from Scripture, to help you grow as a steward of God’s resources, and to learn practices to position you for fruitful participation in God’s
