Giving It All Away... and Getting It All Back Again: The Way of Living Generously

Green (More Than a Hobby) channels his formidable business acumen into this practical guide to living a life of generosity—the kind that returns to the giver in great abundance. Green’s basic concept is simple: share your blessings, and many blessings will be returned to you. Readers will recognize the author as the founder of Hobby Lobby, a company that made national headlines when it challenged the federal government’s requirement to provide abortion-inducing drugs to employees who desire them. As a committed evangelical, Green argued that such coverage would be contrary to his Christian ideals. The Supreme Court sided with Hobby Lobby, setting a precedent that delighted religious institutions nationwide and taught Green a lot about standing by one’s convictions. Green fills out this brief treatise with ideas on how to adopt a loving and giving attitude. His many suggestions, down-to-earth tone, and relatable counsel will surely be welcomed by Christian readers who have struggled with ways to reach out to those in need.
