OPEN YOUR LIFE TO THE GIFT OF GIVING#1 New York Times bestselling novelist Debbie Macomber now appeals to our hearts in a new way, sharing her own personal thoughts on how spiritual generosity can bring unforeseen miracles—both small and large—to those who receive and to those who give.

In this touching work of nonfiction, Debbie Macomber shares how she and many of the people she knows and loves try to live their whole lives:

* A mother worrying about her own troubled son buys gloves for a homeless man

* A short letter from an elderly relative to a dying teen is still read by the family decades later

* A widowed husband visits daily the care facility where his wife spent her last days

Blending true stories and motivating messages, Debbie Macomber delights and surprises, showing how giving time, encouragement, hope, laughter, prayer, hospitality, service, and even forgiveness can have a lasting, life-changing impact for all involved.

Now she invites us to come closer to the hearth of our own home and consider what our lives look like when warmed by the graciousness of a giving spirit. Thank you, Debbie, for inviting us draw near as you candidly share your heart with all your faithful readers."

"The lavishness of Debbie's giving-heart is proofread in her fiction....whether she's teaching us through story how to knit, connect meaningfully with others, or heal from a disease, she's does so with grace and ease. Now in her inimitable way Debbie offers us gentle and powerful reminders of true-life generosity and never drops a stitch."
-- Patsy Clairmont, Author Catching Fireflies
"You are going to love Debbie Macomber. She's the bubbly friend you've always hoped to meet and the savvy mentor you've longed to know. Debbie's mission statement is captured in God's words addressed to Abraham: 'you will be a blessing' (Genesis 12:2 NIV). I'm here to tell you, girlfriend -- she's taken that promise and run with it! Blessing her loved ones. Blessing her neighbors. Blessing strangers in need. And, in turn, blessing her readers."
-- Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible
