Overview

What If Our Investments Were Measured By Their Return On The Eternal & Redemptive Objectives of Their True Owner? The Steward Investor: Investing God's Resources for Eternal Impact (Hardcover Case Edition) is not just another stewardship book about competent money management or generosity. Instead, using scripture and real-world examples, it helps us discover our duty as God's money managers and provokes us to invest differently. Challenging modern temporal financial planning constructs, like maximizing financial returns and minimizing risk for ourselves, it shows how we can optimize positive, enduring outcomes for all stakeholders, including employees, communities, and the planet, all while advancing the kingdom of God. Simmons directs readers to adopt a holistic view of investing that aligns with Great Commission and Great Commandment outcomes. You will be challenged and inspired to reevaluate your portfolio and to start your own journey toward investing for eternal impact as God's steward investor. Tell those rich in this world's wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money. Tell them to go after God... to be rich in helping others. If they do that, they'll build a treasury that will last. (1 Tim 6:17-19, MSG) -ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Don Simmons is a CFP(R) professional with over thirty years of experience managing nearly a quarter billion dollars of assets through the boutique investment firm he founded in 1988.

You've never met an investment advisor like Don Simmons! The Steward Investor will challenge you to live as God's fiduciary and invest in Kingdom Businesses in the world's hardest frontier markets. The book weaves together biblical truth, beautiful stories of life change, and practical counsel on how you can start today. -Matthew Rohrs, CEO, Sinapis, Kenya This small book packs a huge punch! It is a potential game changer for thousands of Christ followers who are serious about loving the world in the name of Jesus and who perceive that the financial resources placed in their care by God are not theirs but His and, furthermore, can be actually invested in business enterprises to advance the kingdom of God here on earth. Having known and worked for over a decade with Don, I can attest to how he walks the talk and to his passion for a world of justice, kindness, and humility in our walk with God. -Peter Shaukat, Co-Founder of a UK-based global economic development fund This book is dynamite. It will cause explosions in many peoples' lives, and so it should come with a health (comfort) warning. It gets to the heart of God's design for the money that He entrusts us with like nothing that I have read before. It is also very timely and will play a big part reshaping my own investment portfolio and in catalyzing the necessary shifts in the global tectonic plates that are happening now in finance. -Malcolm Johnston, Partner, Angello, Belfast City, Northern Ireland The Steward Investor: Investing God's Resources for Eternal Impact is the most comprehensive book I have read that encourages Christians to invest differently than our secular counterparts. Drawing on Don's experience as a lifelong wealth advisor and his in-depth knowledge of scripture, the reader is presented with practical ways to be faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to each of us. Don masterfully explains why all Christians should invest with kingdom returns in mind, not just financial returns. -Greg Lernihan, Faith-Driven Investor, Co-Founder of Convergint Technologies The Steward Investor is one of the only resources I have ever seen that discusses how to steward investments so that they are aligned with God's Great Commission objectives. It is a call for each of us to partner with God and deploy the investments entrusted to us in a way which advances His kingdom. For too long our investment portfolios have looked all too normal. I pray this book challenges your mind and heart to rearrange your investment portfolio so that it includes distinctly missional businesses across the globe. -Ryan Crozier, Founder, Good Bureau, Bucharest, Romania Don Simmons presents the quintessential model for how a disciple should properly steward the financial resources with which God has blessed them.... This is a must-read for any Christ follower who wants to heed the imperative to build one's treasure in heaven. -Dodd Roberts, Director, Halbert Center for Missions and Global Service, Abilene Christian University
