For those who like daily devotional books, Generosity is a good one. It will push you to really consider God's generosity toward us. Additionally, it will help you see that generosity is a huge component of spiritual growth.

Great for church groups who want to explore this subject together.

I wasn't a particular fan of the content in this book. It struck me as a little dramatic on some points, however, I do highly recommend that every believer study generosity and how it is manifested in their lives. My husband and I learned a lot on this topic lately and it is really a life-changer! The activities in the book were also relevant and challenging.

Challenging book. I believe that our giving reflects our heart. This small, but powerful book gives pause to every aspect of our giving. Well worth the journey.
