Synopsis

The God who created a good and perfect world, but whose world turned from him, has brought restoration through gift: The Father loved the world and gave the Son, and the Father and the Son pour out the gift of the Spirit into the hearts of humanity bringing about praise, hope, and new creation. Those who are united to the Son by his Spirit then find they have received the glorious gift of God’s coming Kingdom. In other words, the Gospel is shaped by giving: God’s generosity buys us out of bondage and brings us into all the blessings of belonging. But the good news is not only that God has made us to be recipients of his grace but also participants in the movement of his divine justice and generosity. Living in God’s gifts, Christians discover they are free to give themselves. The cross and resurrection of Christ come to shape and define this new life of faith, hope and generosity—a life that is best lived not in isolation but as a community. Throughout the book special attention is given to the relationship between divine generosity and concern for the poor and oppressed. Kapic and Borger encourage readers to not simply discover the immensity of God’s grace, but to enter into the flow of divine generosity as God has invited them to become avenues of his great gifts to the world.

Goodreads review by Betsy on October 10, 2011

This is a very thought-provoking book that challenges the reader to examine how he or she is living life as a recipient of God's grace and as a participant in God's grace in others' lives. It's very academic and theological while, at the same time, remaining personable and compassionate. Great juxta......more

Good crash course in Trinitarian theology with practical application to our response to God's grace with generosity—i.e. how the love of God poured out on us produces love of neighbor.......more

Goodreads review by John on October 06, 2015

My favorite book on the theology of generosity. Generosity can seem like something on the edges of our Christian life, but by showing us afresh the profound Triune experience of and quality of generosity, Kapic places the call and response of generosity in a new light. Our generosity is expression o......more

Goodreads review by Budi on July 15, 2012

Everything we own in this world is not ours, but belongs to God. God also gave himself to us. It is therefore we should be giving Christians, too. This book explains thoroughly how we should enter into the divine generosity.......more

Goodreads review by Garrett on December 31, 2022

This just might be the best book about Christianity I’ve ever read. It covered so much more than I was expecting and was practically poetic the way that Scripture, theology, and history was weaved together to paint a beautiful picture of God’s Grace. I can’t wait to read more of this author’s work!......more
