About Our New Book: Stewardship Starts at Home

Even with so many experts offering ways to raise a family these days, seldom are these suggestions universally applicable or effective. Embracing a life of stewardship, especially for families who seek to follow Christ, does actually work in every instance, because stewardship starts with the unique gifts of each family member, given by God, for good. The thoughtful reflections in this book prove that Lisa McArdle has worked faithfully at finding foolproof ways for her family to respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Her insights provide helpful tips and a powerful theological foundation for any family to find the way to the heavenly Kingdom together through Christ. For the past several years, Lisa has been giving talks and leading retreats on "Stewardship in the Family" at Catholic parishes around the country, and as a result, thousands of parishioners have come away with the understanding that stewardship is truly the disciple’s response that can honestly direct the good we strive to do in our families.

Spend some time with the wisdom of Lisa McArdle as you read this book. Be ready to be challenged, supported, and awakened to better family life for you and those you love.
