Generosity all starts with our hearts. My heart was born selfish. Don't judge. So was yours. It's in our nature. But God's nature is generous. He is a giver. His desire is for us to become more like him. But he knows our hearts are deeply connected to our money and our possessions. Money is personal. We spend so much time, effort, and energy trying to make it, spend it, save it, invest it... and hopefully give it. The way we handle it defines our character. This book shares the supernatural things that begin to happen in us, through us, and around us when generosity becomes a lifestyle.
