Synopsis
In a mere moment a story, quotation, poem, passing remark or mere gesture can be enough for generosity to move into our hearts and minds and become central to our lives. Inspiring Generosity is a rich offering of such moments. The desire to act generously arrives like uninvited guest, unexpectedly, like a lightning bolt, in a mere moment. A gesture, a news story, a quotation in a book, a passing remark can change everything. For many, that moment is enough for generosity to move into their hearts and minds and become central to their lives. Inspiring Generosity is an offering of such moments. Inspiring Generosity offers an invitation to savour a sampling of the very best inspirations on the subject of generosity. It includes fifteen contemporary stories of generosity heroes whose lives have been transformed by the power of generosity. This book will help readers open their hearts to the power of their own innate generosity, their desire to make a difference in the world, to help make someone s day a little brighter or their world a bit more secure. It will kindle a spark in readers hearts that moves them into the sunshine of a more generous life. And if one life is more generous, we all prosper. That is one of generosity s most wonderful qualities: It is utterly contagious.
