We Make a Life by What We Give by Richard B Gunderman

We Make a Life by What We Give by Richard B Gunderman

According to an old saying, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." In 22 brief and insightful essays, Richard B. Gunderman shows us that the key to more rewarding giving can be found by looking beyond mere donations of money. Exploring the ethical core of sharing and examining its importance for both those who receive and those who give, here is a book to deepen our understanding of what it means to share.

Some books enlighten us, some books inspire us, and some books challenge us to expand our understanding of who we are and who we can become[This book] does all three. . . . It simply surpasses all other books in the field, but more importantly, it expands our understanding of the field of philanthropy and of ourselves and our potential.

. . . provides a rich understanding of humanity and how we must live in community.2010

Short, sweet, and a pleasure to read, [this book] reminds us that we are capable of contributing much more when we see ourselves in the company of those who depend on us to make the most of what we have been given.
