This nonfiction, very inspirational book, subtitled, "Discovering the Power of Generosity," covers many topics in discussing how to cultivate generosity in our lives. Macomber focuses on acts of gratitude, offering encouragement, showing forgiveness, believing the best about people, listening, showing hospitality, dispensing hope and having a servant's heart, just to mention a few. There are many more that will truly touch your heart and make you think how simple it really is to be generous.

Macomber shares scripture verses and many real-life examples (both her own and those of others) of each of the aspects of generosity she discusses. She resoundingly acclaims that a faith in God is the "glue" that holds us all together and prompts a spirit of generosity. It also has a ripple effect and uses the principle of multiplication, as she gives several examples of generosities that have occurred throughout history by well- known people, and shows the effect that generosity has had.

Research is sighted throughout the book that shows the beneficial effects of generosity on our health and well- being, that sharing our time, resources and love give us. It is not only our physical well-being, but also our psychological, emotional and spiritual health that can be positively affected by generosity. At the end of each chapter, Macomber gives insight on how to cultivate generosity with simple, practical suggestions to get you jump-started on your own journey.

What a marvelous treasure trove of information! This book is so uplifting that I plan to make every effort to put her suggestions and examples into practice in my own life. What a better world this would be if we all did just "one simple act" everyday. Reading this book and acting on its content could be a life-changing experience for you!
