The Book of Giving: How the God Who Gives Can Make Us Givers

by Pierce Taylor Hibbs

Described by one theologian-reviewer as a “thoughtful … intentionally lyrical call to enter the divine circle of giving,” this unique book offers insights into the transformative opportunity giving presents believers and how it allows us to find joy in the very nature of God. Hibbs opens with a bold claim: Giving is literally how God changes the world. He roots this not in guilt or duty, but in the nature of God himself, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, eternally giving to one another.

Rather than a how-to guide on tithing, The Book of Giving treats giving as a lens for understanding God, ourselves, and the world.

• Giving as the pattern within the Trinity itself
• Receiving, giving thanks, and giving back as a cycle
• Giving as the foundation of all relationships, not just charity
• Reflection questions, prayers, and exercises after each section

Hibbs writes with the goal is for readers to feel the truth of generosity, not just understand it intellectually.
