Book Synopsis
Whatcha Gonna Do with Whatcha Got? provides a thoroughly detailed map for navigating the jungles of Christian estate planning. Daum includes many nuts and bolts yet keeps the matter of going through the process in the right way down to earth.
Robert Daum's enthusiasm for biblical stewardship is undeniable. He recognizes that his several decades of work in planned giving has not merely been a career but a calling-a ministry. The business and financial dimensions are apparent, but Daum deliberately emphasizes the spiritual dimension. His goal is not to be a smooth-talking fundraiser for the church. He genuinely encourages readers to evaluate their relationships with Jesus and embrace the importance of allocating our treasures and establishing our hearts above. The repeated counsel to bathe the process in prayer outweighs all the definitions, steps, and resources, as valuable as they are. The author also includes beneficial stories and case studies.
This book offers guidance in effectively determining how to dedicate ourselves to advancing the gospel commission throughout our lives and beyond.
Review Quotes
"Bob Daum has rendered an invaluable service to Adventist believers by translating the timeless principles of Christian stewardship into a simple, yet thorough, contemporary approach that everyone can understand. There are several important threads interwoven through the fabric of Whatcha Gonna Do with Whatcha Got? The Great Controversy theme is brought home reminding us that every action relating to our human possessions leads to eternal consequences. The author exudes humility in his approach, yet no one can negate his profound knowledge in financial management acquired through years of service, in both the private and not-for-profit sectors. This treasure trove of knowledge makes him uniquely qualified to produce a masterpiece that will inspire God's faithful stewards for generations to come." Elder Daniel Honore, Former Attorney, Theologian, and Conference President
