Imagine what the world could be like if we all embraced a lifestyle of abundant generosity – the churches that could be planted, the charities that could be founded, the lives that could be transformed.

Encouraging us with the part we could play, pastor and fundraiser Wendy Pawsey skilfully guides us through the Bible’s rich teaching about money, giving and tithing. Sharing the experiences of many ordinary Christians, she helps us reflect on how we could use the financial resources God has given to us to bless others, and be blessed ourselves.

A generous life has the power to change lives today, and to leave a legacy that impacts the world of tomorrow. Review your attitudes to money, and take Wendy’s Thirty-day Generosity Challenge to discover the joy and privilege of being generous with a capital G!

  • A stimulating and vital book that encourages Christians to treat giving both as 'obligation' and 'opportunity'. A means of blessing others and being blessed ourselves.

    Rev Canon J. John
  • Wendy has written a winner! Books on giving and being generous usually fall into one of two categories: Shame on you for not giving or Here’s how to do it because it worked for me. This book is neither of these. Here stories of generosity are historical, accurate, simple, varied and inspirational. The challenge that Wendy presents is really an opportunity to catch the heartbeat of Father God who so loved the world that He gave. If you are a giver, you will be inspired to keep on giving. If you haven't yet discovered the joy of being generous, this is the book for you to start that journey.

  • Having known Wendy since we started theological college together, it is a joy to see the fruit of her years of experience in the financial sector and Christian ministry come together in print in this book. Wendy has a gift of drawing together godly practical wisdom with theological insight in her own inimitable style, which is simultaneously straight-talking, humorous and accessible. The questions at the end of each chapter are really useful to ponder, and help ensure this book is one that not only informs our thinking, but also should inspire us into action.

    Jenny Kimble, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Regents Theological College, UK
  • Wendy has drawn together a blueprint, a guide and a rallying cry for followers of Christ to imagine a world where giving is normal, generosity is our standard and we give to every good cause on every occasion.

    Don Esson, Director of Partnerships and Development, Spurgeons and Founder, Prime Leadership Solutions
  • This is a book that makes you think again about generous giving. You are not left condemned, but inspired. Wendy very skilfully, with humility and humour, navigates a subject many shy away from. The reader, whatever their gifting or financial position, is sensitively encouraged to step out into the exciting arena and the blessing of generous giving.

    Richard Giles, Chair of Sat 7
  • Challenging, inspiring and practical. This book will profoundly impact the generosity of those who read it and there will be a far-reaching impact for the gospel as a result.

    Gavin Calver, CEO of Evangelical Alliance
  • This little book has a big message for followers of Jesus, encouraging us to be joyful, generous and radical givers. Full of practical ideas, true stories and challenging questions, Wendy’s cheerful style inspires us to a generosity that will outlast our lifetime. It’s well worth the read.

    Ruth Walker, mentoring and strategy specialist; non-executive director, charity board member and chair
  • Spending any time at all in Wendy’s company is to be cajoled, cheered up, jollied, encouraged and challenged all at once. You come away reminded of why it’s both essential AND great to be a follower of Jesus! She has a knack of linking you back to the core of what’s important about life and faith, with oodles of joy and fun. This book feels like Wendy has stood up, tapped her glass, gained everyone’s attention and then announced that we all need to look with fresh eyes at a subject that British Christianity doesn’t normally touch with a bargepole: financial generosity. Filled with sound biblical wisdom, solid research, inspirational stories, interesting anecdotes and more than a few truly crazy testimonies of God’s power and generosity, Wendy has written something that will really inspire us all to reconsider how we think about our finances in a much more godly way.

    Rev Nick and Chloe Whittome, Birmingham City Church
