What does it mean to be generous? The dictionary definition is “to give more than necessary” and “to show kindness”. However, in the Bible, generosity is not just about giving. It is about our attitude to giving. The question in the Bible is not how much do we give, but how willing we are to give. That’s why 2 Cor 9:7 says, “God loves a cheerful giver”.
This book looks at the centrality of generosity to the teaching of the Bible from the Old Testament to the gospels and examines what our response to this should be. Its aim is to enable us to rediscover the Biblical teaching on Generosity in the life of a Christian.
