Growing Generous Souls reminds church leaders and inquiring individuals of their God-given identities; helps them experience the freedom of generous-hearted, gratitude-based living that Christ offers; and equips them to embrace a life lived in alignment with God's design. Challenging the ethic of scarcity, it invites people to adopt an ethic of enough and find a deeper sense of contentment. The book reorients stewardship from a church program to a way of life that nurtures grateful people. It identifies unbridled consumerism as a spiritual challenge. The book prompts readers to reconsider the use of money, relationships, and ways of caring for one another as spiritual issues that can instead be powerful tools. Vital, passionate generosity can become the key to "soul making," as part of a sparkling, lifelong, whole-life adventure.
