Biblical Management Principles
This study presents principles of management revealed in God’s written Word, the Holy Bible. “Management” is another word for “stewardship”. “Stewards”, or “managers”, are responsible for something entrusted to them by someone else. As believers, each of us is manager of spiritual resources with which God has entrusted us.
