Book excerpt: "Lynn Miller is an admired friend with whom I share a passion for stewardship. His deep biblical insights and his ability to share them with both lightheartedness and profundity give him a unique ability to cause people to think in new ways about life stewardship. Lynn asks the right questions and his message is one that needs to be heard--for the sake of a culture brainwashed by the gospel of materialism." --Richard Towner, Vice President, Willow Creek Association, Barrington, IL "You never quite know where you will find Lynn Miller, but, wherever he is, Lynn notices relationships. The connective tissue between people, possessions, faith, finances, Scripture, culture, labor, and leisure captures his attention, and he mines these connections for meaning and promise. It is evident that the truth of God's 'enough' clearly shapes Lynn's daily life as well as his teaching and writing." --Ed Taylor, Executive Director, Ecumenical Stewardship Center, Indianapolis, IN Lynn Miller served as stewardship theologian for MMA, Goshen, Indiana, until his retirement in 2006. He is a graduate of Wilmington (Ohio) College and Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, Indiana. Lynn is a popular conference and congregational speaker. He has been a pioneer in the study of firstfruits theology and its application to a life of faith. Author of the books Firstfruits Living and Just in Time: Stories of God's Extravagance, Lynn and his wife, Linda Jean (Pine) Miller, now live their lives seeking--and finding--ways to give themselves away in service to God.
