We all know women we admire and want to be near. They are the women we call when we need to talk, or when we need a whispered word of encouragement or hope. They are the ones who rejoice in our good news -- and who sympathize with us in our grief. These are the women who draw us out of ourselves when we become emotionally distant and who graciously accept our eager interruptions into their lives when others would see only intrusion. They are life-givers who touch us with their boundless love. They are women of a generous spirit. You, too, can be such a woman -- one whose love nurtures, encourages, and impacts those around her. Within these pages, author Lois Mowday Rabey shows you how, offering encouragement, motivation, and advice to show you the way. Learn how you can express life-giving love as you enter into the beautiful mystery of becoming a woman of a generous spirit.

Welcome to God's world of generosity. God is generous. The author of everything good shares his goodness, and his good things, with mankind. Incredible. Poverty, according to the dictionary, is the state of lacking sufficient money or material possessions. But according to biblical principles and examples, poverty is much more than just the lack of funds or possessions. It is a spirit, a force, that enslaves men and women. It becomes their mind set, the reason why they live the way they do. God's people may not have a lot of money. At times, they may be downright poor. But being poor and under the curse of the spirit of poverty are two completely separate things. NEVER does God want his people (or anyone, for that matter) living under the curse of poverty. The power to get wealth includes the wisdom to use it, and not abuse it. The poverty spirit will abuse it, waste it, and blame God for his stinginess. But the heart free from the spirit of poverty will allow God full access to everything they have; everything they are. The Spirit of Generosity overcomes the Spirit of Poverty. Every time. Generosity can be likened to massive power generators used to supply electricity to such large cities as New York and Los Angeles. Generosity is the power generator for the kingdom of God. God's generosity offers light to everyone in darkness; and peace to every tried and tormented soul. Joy comes to those who rest in God's generous assurance; for though the nighttime of weeping seems to last forever, joy always comes in the morning. Generosity - the life-giving power of doing good to others.

Machiavelli is popularly known as a teacher of tyrants, a key proponent of the unscrupulous “Machiavellian” politics laid down in his landmark political treatise The Prince. Others cite the Discourses on Livy to argue that Machiavelli is actually a passionate advocate of republican politics who saw the need for occasional harsh measures to maintain political order. Which best characterizes the teachings of the prolific Italian philosopher? With Machiavelli’s Politics, Catherine H. Zuckert turns this question on its head with a major reinterpretation of Machiavelli’s prose works that reveals a surprisingly cohesive view of politics. Starting with Machiavelli’s two major political works, Zuckert persuasively shows that the moral revolution Machiavelli sets out in The Prince lays the foundation for the new form of democratic republic he proposes in the Discourses. Distrusting ambitious politicians to serve the public interest of their own accord, Machiavelli sought to persuade them in The Prince that the best way to achieve their own ambitions was to secure the desires and ambitions of their subjects and fellow citizens. In the Discourses, he then describes the types of laws and institutions that would balance the conflict between the two in a way that would secure the liberty of most, if not all. In the second half of her book, Zuckert places selected later works—La Mandragola, The Art of War, The Life of Castruccio Castracani, Clizia, and Florentine Histories—under scrutiny, showing how Machiavelli further developed certain aspects of his thought in these works. In The Art of War, for example, he explains more concretely how and to what extent the principles of organization he advanced in The Prince and the Discourses ought to be applied in modern circumstances. Because human beings act primarily on passions, Machiavelli attempts to show readers what those passions are and how they can be guided to have productive rather than destructive results. A stunning and ambitious analysis, Machiavelli’s Politics brilliantly shows how many conflicting perspectives do inform Machiavelli’s teachings, but that one needs to consider all of his works in order to understand how they cohere into a unified political view. This is a magisterial work that cannot be ignored if a comprehensive understanding of the philosopher is to be obtained.

Contemporary scholars aiming to articulate a ‘middle way’ between fundamentalism and liberalism regularly draw upon HansFrei and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, yet they are rarely brought together on this question, if at all. Here, Tim Boniface highlights the promise of reading them together, proposing especially that a discussion of Jesus’ transcendence derived from their responses to modernity is an effective locus for considering their combined contribution to a ‘middle way’ discussion. Having outlined a rationale for a theology of Christological transcendence, this work describes in detail how both Frei and Bonhoeffer point towards a nuanced approach to the transcendence of Jesus—especially in terms of the importance of articulating that transcendence at the level of the ‘unsubstitutable historical particularity’ of Christ in the cultural-linguistic setting of the Christian community (Frei) and the impact of a theologia crucis and a participatory cosmic Christology on such thinking (Bonhoeffer). Offering a unique summary of the key ways in which the two theologians’ works mutually critique and strengthen one another, Boniface then articulates a pneumatological emphasis lacking in both Frei and Bonhoeffer, stressing the supreme generosity of God at the heart of what it means to say that Jesus transcends.

Selflessly giving away something deeply meaningful significant to us without imposing expectations on the recipient is a holy action. Holy actions are redemptive deeds proclaiming the present nature of God's Kingdom. Confronted by such generosity, our human instincts might protest, deeming it illogical, imprudent, or even disdainful. Lean in as Paul, the Apostle, addresses the matter of generosity with Pastor Titus. A few months earlier, Paul left Titus on the island of Crete to mature the believers. An apparent deficiency in the life of the churchchurch's life at Crete was their failure to care for those in need. Although they professed faith, a generous spirit was not characteristic of them, as they primarily focused on their comfort. Millennials and Gen -Xers did not introduce self-centered living or entitlement to the social landscape. Self-interest has permeated every culture since Adam. We are naturally wired to be occupied with our own well-being. There are several factors warring against a generous heart. A culture fixated on gathering and hoarding, preparing for rainy days, and saving for an easy living and a snug retirement. Anxiety regarding our future. What if I need what I am relinquishing? Doubts regarding the recipient may surface. Did their irresponsibility lead them to their current state of need? Will they use this money for good or evil? A viewpoint steeped in hopelessness. How can my modest contribution make a dent in this overwhelming crisis? Sometimes, the words of Jesus, like those in Luke 6, rise from the sea of New Testament scripture, taunting me like a bully from my childhood. Love your enemies, do good deeds for those who hate you, heap blessings upon those who are cursing you, spend time in prayer for those who are hurting you, and give your hard-earned money to people who have no intentions of repaying pray for those who are hurting you, and give your hard-earned money to people who do not intend to repay it. Wow, these are challenging targets. Adding to the charge are historical accounts of men like John Wesley. From selling his books alone, John Wesley gave away between £30,000 and £40,000John Wesley gave away between £30,000 and £40,000 from selling his books alone. He told Samuel Bradburn, that he never gave away anything less than £1,000 a year, and yet, when he died, his estate amounted to only a few pounds. When he earned £30 a year, he lived on £28 and gave the remaining £2 to the Lord. Next year's salary was doubled. He realized he lived comfortably on £28 a year, so instead of raising his standard of living, he continued to live on £28 a year and gave the whole of his increase to God."[1] David Green, founder of the colossally successful Hobby Lobby, lives by a similar philosophy. In his book Leadership Not By The Book, he said., God has used me to help create a $8 billion-a-year business that employs more than fifty thousand men and women across the country. He's enabled us to give away 50 percent of our profits to help fund remarkably effective initiatives for His Kingdom all over the world. It has been a wonderfully satisfying, thrilling, scary, eye-opening, perplexing, enjoyable ride lasting half a century.[2]

Through the ages, the world’s cultures and great religions have in profound, though different, ways sought to answer the big question: how should we live? Part of the answer has to do with how we ought to treat others, particularly those who are most in need. Ample evidence suggests that giving selflessly to others lies at the heart of what it means to be a thoughtful and moral human being. In Being Generous, author Theodore Roosevelt Malloch leads an exploration of this important concept of generous giving. He begins by examining how generosity fits into the various spiritual traditions, philosophical schools, and economic systems. Further chapters illustrate how generosity need not always be about money, showing how it might also involve the sharing of time and talent. Elsewhere, Malloch explores the science behind generosity, looking, for example, at the relationship between various chemicals in the brain and generous behavior. Beyond the theory and the science of generosity, readers will also find a wealth of inspiration in a collection of profiles of past and present icons of generosity. Being Generous concludes with a practical action plan that lays out concrete steps to guide readers toward lives of greater giving.
