Why does generosity matter, and why should we give back to God?

Tailored specifically for pastors and lay leaders navigating the delicate task of stewardship, this insightful book transcends the mundane "how" of giving to explore the profound "why" behind our acts of generosity.

In this book Travis skillfully discusses the essence of generosity in three thought-provoking sections. Initially, he invites readers to ponder "what" generosity truly entails, painting a vivid picture of God's boundless generosity woven throughout the entirety of Scripture. From there, he considers the "so what" question, confronting the challenges of practicing generosity today in a world consumed by materialism and acquisition. Finally, in the enlightening "now what" segment, Travis offers a practical roadmap for church leaders, equipping them with the tools and insights needed to navigate stewardship campaigns with grace and confidence.

With a blend of scholarly insight, heartfelt conviction, and practical advice, God’s Gift of Generosity serves as a beacon of wisdom and encouragement for those seeking to cultivate a spirit of generosity in their congregations, encouraging all to celebrate the timeless nature of God's generosity and translate its profound truths into tangible, transformative actions in our contemporary world.

Karl B. Travis is former senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Fort Worth, Texas, and he frequently serves as lecturer and workshop leader on stewardship.
