A great book from my new friend Cameron Doolittle that explores what we can learn about the joyful practice of generosity from Scripture, early Christianity, and the global church. I found myself inspired and challenged by the stories, and I appreciated the practical advice on questions of where and how to give. Throughout the book, Cameron frames generosity not as a "have to" but as a "get to," making it a powerful, disarming message for believers at all stages of the generosity journey.

My friend Cameron, did a sterling job of looking at the Biblical concepts of generosity as well as great testimonies. He managed to give practical and sound advice that truly creates a joy within. I highly recommend this book for everyone who wants to read something balanced on generosity.
