A few months back, I picked up a Broadman publication copyrighted in 1953, which was titled “Good Stewards” by J.E. Willard. I understand that it was published as a Training Union “credit study,” perhaps for January Bible study.
It covers every aspect of Christian stewardship. It is indeed valuable from a personal standpoint and certainly informs God’s people of their responsibility for local and worldwide missions. I wish that it could be reissued or reprinted since it is so clear in scope and intent.
Baptists have a heritage of great writers and teachers, and we are doing a great disservice to ourselves by not utilizing those resources. We don’t need too much “new;” we do need to rely heavily on following the “old paths.”
I have spoken to some older pastors, and they spoke well of the materials of yesteryear.
