Classic Sermons on Stewardship
by Warren Wiersbe
Paperback: Kregel Academic & Professional (1999); 160 pages

About This Book
One of Wiersbe's many compilations, this book is a collection of 13 sermons on the topic of stewardship. In his preface, Wiersbe acknowledges that some preachers included are better known than others, but each sermon in the set is significant in its own way.

These sermons are intended for both spiritual encouragement and as starter material for your sermons. It is Wiersbe's intention that you are helped and motivated as you tackle this potentially awkward topic, and his strategic choices should do just that.

How It Will Help
This book is an all-in-one package. You are able to read sermons on stewardship delivered by some of the best preachers of the twentieth century. You are able to read their biography and gather background information. Wiersbe has outlined and subcategorized each sermon for you, and he has included the relevant Scripture at each sermon's opening (and listed them all at the beginning of the book).
