Leverage: Using Temporal Wealth for Eternal Gain

by Kenneth Boa and Russ Crosson

Leverage usually means turning limited resources into personal advantage. Those in the early Church weren’t focused on investing in the things of this world. Instead, they gave from what they had to meet each other’s needs and to spread the message of the gospel before Christ returned. They leveraged their earthly wealth for eternal gain.

Authors Kenneth Boa and Russ Crosson’s core belief is that everything a person owns already belongs to God. Believers are simply stewards, not owners.

• The principle of “leverage” applied to giving, not gain
• Why an eternal perspective changes daily financial choices
• The why, when, how, and how much of biblical generosity
• Where giving should be directed
• Examples from the early church and first-century apostles

After laying that foundation, the book offers practical tools to help readers actually put a kingdom-first giving mindset into action.
