Firstfruits LivingGiving God Our Best by Lynn A. Miller |
 |
"Lynn probes the Scriptures for the essential character of being Christian that results in free, joyful, and generous living and giving...The church will be blessed by this book" -- from the foreword, by James M. Lapp
God calls us to "firstfruits living". This means returning to God the best part of God's gifts to us. Giving God the firstfruits of our income, our time, our entire lives, we spread God's new way through society like yeast transforms dough.
"Lynn Miller has combined his gift of storytelling with biblical scholarship to give us an entertaining, insightful, understandable study book. It contains important but often-forgotten biblical principles. If all Christians practiced firstfruits living, the world itself would be transfomed." -- Ray and Lillian Bair, associate Secretaries for Congregational Stewardship, Mennonite Board of Congregational Ministries
