"In Authentic Stewardship Terry Austin has accomplished a remarkable task for a spiritual teacher: he has taken ancient biblical truths and breathed new life into them. Do not think this is simply another run-of-the-mill book on stewardship. Actually, it is a testament of Christian devotion, an illuminating primer on the mystery and wonder of a life richly lived with God. He takes Bible stories we have read our entire lives and turns them like a prism, allowing the light of eternal wisdom to be refracted in new and important ways. It's more confession and memoir than commentary. He has sought to apply these teachings to his own life, and shares that application-- both successes and failures--with generosity, humor and delight. Through a keen eye, a sharp mind, and a warm heart, Terry pinpoints that enlightening intersection between God's story and our own. Every spiritual seeker, pastor, and church member should read this book. It is a gift to us all!"
