OVERVIEW

This book is written for the wealthy. But if you are not in that category, don’t let that put you off. The precepts and Scripture in Abundant about generosity and giving according to God’s standard (making you part of the group of happiest Christians) can be applied to all believers. The author admits to growing up loving money and planning a life of riches and then changing his perspective which led to an abundant life, one built on Biblical principles and faith. This is a conversation not everyone is comfortable having. It is often fraught with guilt and discomfort. But Harper does a great job of putting readers at ease. He takes us on “the incredible journey of generosity”.
