DESCRIPTION:
John Fease said A Powerful Invitation to be a Part of the Healing. I was interested in the story because I heard a bit of it from a friend who it turns out is Laura Truax's son. I bought the book because I was interested to find out what the church did with the $1.6m windfall. What I got was far more. LLG provides fascinating insights contrasting world views based on scarcity and abundance. I believe strongly that this lies at the center (or at least very near the center) of struggle for survival of most institutional churches today.

Literary Mom This is a fabulous book about the power of generosity, and the way that it can change lives. The lessons and applications in it are universal-not just for Christian readers. Although an easy read, there is much to think about along the way. You will want to mark sections and return to them again and again. Makes a great gift!!. An excellent story from Chicago ch773 Another excellent book from Laura Truax. Her approach to telling stories from Scripture is wonderfully fresh and relevant to the overall story of LaSalle church. I loved reading the creative ways the members shared their $500. So glad this book was written! I recommend it highly.
When LaSalle Street Church in Chicago received an unexpected windfall, its leaders made the wild, counterintuitive decision to give $160,000 away to church members - 500 each. They were simply told to go out and do good in God's world. What happened next was amazing. Laura Sumner Truax and Amalya Campbell tell how this radical generosity experiment worked in their church, explore the connection of human flourishing to generosity, and offer tools to help us reclaim our giver identities and live generously - to love and let go.. In Love Let Go listeners learn how a church community was transformed by the startling truth that money can buy happiness - so long as you spend it on others. Displays the amazing power of generosity to transform people and communities
