The author has personally seen how philanthropy has built communities and aided in bringing social justice and peace to our troubled world. During three decades of traveling to the poorest and most desperate countries, Dave has seen and met individuals who have been freed by acts of generosity.What is generosity? What motivates a person toward benevolence? The Power of Generosity is a practical guide to developing a spirit of generosity, providing thoughtful answers and encouragement for all those looking for ways to be more giving in their lives.

About the Author:
Dave Toycen is the president and CEO of World Vision Canada. Under his leadership, this not-for-profit organization provides humanitarian aid and development programs to people in need around the world, and advocates for political change in countries that deny people, especially children and women, their basic human rights and the necessities of life.
Review:
"The reason I have devoted some of my time and energies to World Vision over the past 20 years is that this organization teaches charity by example and actions, not just by speech. I'm a fan of Saint Paul and I believe the best way to judge people is through their charity and generosity. I hope this book will inspire people to act upon their good impulses." -- Alex Trebek Host, JEOPARDY! "I would never have thought that a book about generosity could yield such insight, such anecdote, such warmth, such principle, such riveting narrative. But it does. It's quite remarkable." -- Stephen Lewis UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa
