To say that I enjoyed this book is an understatement. I drank this book in. The author and founder of Hobby Lobby, David Green, along with Bill High, not only shared life wisdom, but did so in a way that left me feeling as though I was part of the family.
In the book, A Generous Life, the reader is led through 10 steps for not only living a great life now, but for leaving behind a lasting legacy. Most will come to the same conclusion of financial wealth, and that’s a wonderful blessing, but the authors explain how a meaningful legacy goes beyond a financial inheritance and is about making the end the beginning.
Raised with little to nothing as far as earthly wealth, Mr. Green was enriched with so much more. From an early age, it was ingrained that everything belongs to God. His mother had a heart for giving back, a heart for giving to God, and a heart for furthering the kingdom of God. All of this, she passed on to her children. That is a phenomenal legacy!
With Hobby Lobby Inc. being in the spotlight due to core beliefs being challenged, Mr. Green and his family have overcome seemingly unbeatable odds with a supernatural peace. This is a direct result to their unwavering faith and firm belief that when everything belongs to God, you can’t possibly out-give Him. Mr. Green and Mr. High challenge us to walk a generous life and have outlined best practices that are based on Biblical principles.
I recommend this book for anyone and everyone! From early learning on how to handle finances and giving, to seasoned adults – there’s something for every person in this wonderful book. Read it, meditate on the scriptural truths, and be prepared to be challenged to live a generous life!
I look forward to reading this one.
