The Generous Life: Giving Meaning to Your Money

How do we know if we’re truly generous?

For most of us, we want to be known as someone who lived a generous life. We don’t want money and possessions to guide our decisions. We would rather live open-handed so that we can bless others.

This book gives practical steps on how to achieve your generosity goals, even if you don’t yet have any! You’ll hear stories from people who never realized God could use them in such a significant way.

From big gifts to small gifts, from teenagers to multi-millionaires, God wants us all to live generously. In this book, you’ll learn to think about your generosity as an act that is way more about what it does in you than what your dollars can do. As Pastor Rob gets vulnerable with some of his own struggles early in his life in ministry, you will see that God’s faithfulness can take the most unlikely story and launch a movement of generosity.
