A Powerful Invitation to be a Part of the Healing John Fease I was interested in the story because I heard a bit of it from a friend who it turns out is Laura Truax's son. I bought the book because I was interested to find out what the church did with the $1.6m windfall. What I got was far more. LLG provides fascinating insights contrasting world views based on scarcity and abundance. I be. "Read this Book!" according to Literary Mom. This is a fabulous book about the power of generosity, and the way that it can change lives. The lessons and applications in it are universal-not just for Christian readers. Although an easy read, there is much to think about along the way. You will want to mark sections and return to them again and again. Makes a great gift!!.

Her approach to telling stories from Scripture is wonderfully fresh and relevant to the overall story of LaSalle church. I loved reading the creative ways the members shared their $500.
