Appearance on local television grabs my attention

I live in eastern Canada and I saw John Dalla Costa being interviewed on LIVE AT FIVE by Starr Dobson. I was so impressed I had to read the book immediately. And I'm glad I did. It's like a mini bible of the truth of being generous. Most of us can readily say, "Thank you, I'm so thankful!" but hard to say, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" This is just one of the several things I've learned in this book. Another example: Giving an old coat to Salvation Army is charity. To give your new coat to the Salvation is being generous. Authors Lucinda Vardey & John Dalla Costa co-writes this book and they are also husband and wife. Highly recommend. It's a must book to sit in the bathtub or read anywhere to give you inspiration. Then, of course, act upon what you've learned from the book.

The art of right living

This lovely book, although not overtly "religious" until the last chapter, explicitly offers to a wide audience a spiritual way of giving, receiving and circulating. Generosity is a profound attitude that can percolate the whole of life; Lucinda and John offer real-life cameos of generative generosity and show a myriad practical ways in which we can be generous without our own agenda, and offer ourselves to receive the blessings of the Spirit; how circulation in our communities and in the world happens as a result. Like the Light, it shows us our darkness as well as offering illumination. There are challenges here for us all: to be open-hearted, adventurous, fearless, forgiving: to live with "a thinking heart" . The authors tell us that the most generous words in the world are "Thank you" and "I'm sorry"; on the cover is printed a little "Thank you". How beautiful. Thank you, Lucinda and John, thank you for this book.
