About this book
Regular giving begins with a regular habit of mind in Sereno D. Clark's essay on Christian stewardship. The Faithful Steward argues that charity should grow from settled principles, then take shape in planned contributions. Clark connects this duty with the order he finds in nature, the example of divine generosity, and the method needed to conduct ordinary business. His practical questions concern how much of a person's income or property to give and how often to give it.
The discussion also turns to earning money. Clark treats business ability as a gift that can support useful work, while challenging the pursuit of wealth simply for accumulation. Industry, economy, and investment belong within his account of generosity when their purpose includes helping others.
