The library of the Kingdom Generosity Collection is the largest on the subject matter of biblical stewardship in the world. Books, pamphlets, media, recordings and more comprise the holdings, preserved for the posterity of emerging generations. The library is a private research and preservation library and open to historians and researchers by appointment. Great pains and expense have been taken to preserve this original literature for emerging generations of Christian leaders. Out of print, public domain literature is planned for release to benefit current pastors and Christian leaders.
The library contains holdings devoted to biblical stewardship and the historiography of Christian generosity. These provide the intellectual framework for our church and para church ministry – ministry’s arising out of biblical times, going back 2,000+ years. These are a resource for pastors, scholars; anyone with biblical interest – especially emerging generational leaders. These materials are a resource for scholars who specialize in generosity issues as they relate to the Christian faith, and to examine this experience in depth.

The Christian Stewardship Association from its inception in 1963 to its merger in 2007.
