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

“Pierce Hibbs is a friend. He loves the Lord, and he understands well the English language. He is adept in the many ways in which we can communicate the gospel to one another. The present book treats 'giving' as a perspective from which we can view all of Scripture, for Scripture is the story of the greatest gift of all, the Father's gift of the Son to save us from sin and to fill us with his own gifts in the Spirit. The book is filled with great learning aids: Bible references, poetry, charts, reflection questions. Pierce wants us to take Scripture into our hearts and allow it to examine our lives in detail. This is a great devotional guide for believers, families, and couples.”

“An absolutely delightful,beautiful, and profound book, written simply and poetically. Receive the giftand rejoice.”

“A passing glance at this book's title, The Book of Giving, may suggest, 'Oh, another manual on giving....' But that is what this book most certainly is not! Rather, it is a thoughtful, biblical, and intentionally lyrical call to enter the divine circle of giving because, as the author notes, 'sometimes we need the truth to be lyrical for it to sink into our souls.' And because it is soul-penetrating, it is more practical than the erstwhile manuals because it invites us into the trinitarian orb of giving and the ongoing stewardship of all that we have. The book's practicality is enhanced by the (yes!) lyrical poem-prayers that conclude each section and the recommended exercises to promote growth in giving. Do you want to become a giver after God's heart? Spend time in the remarkable pages of this book.”

“I have read many books on giving. Even the best of them exhausted me, as they generally take more than they give. Enter Pierce Hibbs's The Book of Giving. What a gift! As in all his writing, Hibbs captures you with fresh and lively word-craft, illustrative wizardry, and heart-warming metaphor. But the deeper beauty of this book lies not in its artfulness, but in its burden-lifting, life-giving expression of biblical truth. Page after page unwraps profound theological insights, offering soul-nourishing delicacies with grace-filled usefulness. With one jaw-dropping glimpse after another at the practical relevance (yes!) of the Trinity, Hibbs exposes how and why the self-giving Triune God 'makes us givers by drawing us into his circle.' To read The Book of Giving is to get swept into this vivifying circle! But let me warn you. Don't read this book if you'd rather abide in your prison cell of self-interest and clutch your shackles of remorse. The Book of Giving may well demolish the chains, and ignite your soul with such a newfound grasp of Trinitarian self-giving, you will soar to new heights of giving and plummet new depths of joy.”
