The Generosity Practice: A Four-Session Companion Guide to Help You Experience the Joy of Giving

Discover the counterintuitive joy and freedom found in generosity—a Practice that reflects our happy, generous God—in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

In a world driven by consumerism and self-interest, the ancient biblical practice of generosity is both radical and transformative. This Companion Guide to the Generosity Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings across four sessions and an optional bonus session. Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, this guide offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This guide will help you:

• Lean into Jesus’ teaching that there is more joy in giving than receiving
• Identify and combat the culture of consumerism and greed
• Embrace the biblical concept of stewardship in all areas of life
• Develop a heart for the poor and marginalized
• Create a sustainable plan for generous living

Experience a life of purpose, joy, and deeper connection with God and others through the Practice of generosity.

Part of a series of nine core practices that together build a Rule of Life for following Jesus in the modern world, each guide can be read individually or together in any order:
The Sabbath Practice
The Prayer Practice
The Fasting Practice
The Solitude Practice
The Generosity Practice
The Scripture Practice
The Community Practice
The Service Practice
