Our entire church read this little booklet over the last 40 days. It was a nice little book to read on generosity. The author definitely had some ideas about generosity that seemed pretty extreme, but then again Jesus did call his disciples to do pretty extreme things. This is a great resource for anyone who is interested in gaining a greater level of understanding in Biblical generosity in bite sized pieces.

My church gave a copy of this devotional to every family in our church. This devotional was used at home by many couples and families. It helped them understand that giving and generosity is about the Bible, and not just the church budget. As people began to understand the joy of giving, our offerings at the church increased over 40%! At the author's website there are also video testimonies from other churches that had similar experiences.
This devotional also has companion materials and videos that can be used in church services, small groups, and Sunday school classes.
Part of my struggle as a Christian is trusting God to provide in matters of financial security. This book reinforces the concept and encourages a spirit of giving without being in fear of your own security. I know I still have a ways to go in this journey of trust, but this is definitely a good book to help start down that path.
