We live in a possession and money obsessed culture. The normal American has far more than they need, yet still feel incredibly insecure, needing to grasp it all tightly and continue to gain more. This isn’t just true with our acquisition of things, but also in the way we approach all resources that God has given to us: our time, gifts and talents, our families, and our lives themselves. What is the solution to this problem? Throughout Gospel Generosity you will see how the answer to our obsession with possessions is turning to the Gospel. It's only in the Gospel can we find the type of life transformation that enables us to turn our focus from ourselves to others, to give generously, and follow the way of Christ. God has modeled generosity throughout redemptive history, culminating in the gift of His Son, and this sacrificial generosity is the basis of true gospel generosity. Readers of this book will be called to consider all of their resources and gifts from God that are to be held loosely, ready to be used for God’s purposes. Everything is His anyway. Gospel generosity is simply giving that is rooted in the saving work of Jesus Christ. It is the Christian’s joyful awareness of what Christ has done for them and how they are privileged to participate in proclaiming that work through giving and advancing the Gospel. Generosity sprouts from the Gospel and bears fruit for the Gospel. In Gospel Generosity you will explore topics such as: Giving is an issue of our heart, health, and service to God - Tithing is not a required practice of New Testament believers - The Kingdom of God calls Christians to humility, selflessness, and fidelity in giving - Called by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Christians give generously as an act of Grace to others until Jesus returns “Nathan Harris has provided thoughtful reflections regarding Christian stewardship based on the magnanimous mercy and generous grace of God in Christ. Grounded in a grace-filled reading of both the Old and New Testaments, Harris offers his appeal for generous giving based on the good news that our lives have been radically transformed by the gospel. We pray that this book will be used of God to encourage all of us toward more faithful, joyful, selfless, and humble giving for the glory of God, for service to others, and for the advancement of Christ's kingdom.” —David S. Dockery, President, International Alliance for Christian Education; President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary “Christians know they should be generous. But what exactly does that mean? Nathan Harris shows how generosity is rooted in the gospel, driven by a transformed heart, and motivated by a desire to make Jesus known. This book is ideal for small group study or for anyone who wants to grow in their faithfulness to Jesus. Highly recommended!” —Matthew S. Harmon, Professor of New Testament studies, Grace Theological Seminary "If you want to be encouraged toward generosity, Nathan Harris'  Gospel Generosity  is a book you need to read. Too many voices on the subject disconnect generosity from the liberating grace of the gospel, leaving Christians with nothing to compel their generosity but guilt and "do better" mentalities. But if the risen Christ really is King and his good news is true, then the fundamental dynamics of generosity are radically transformed. This book will challenge you in all the right ways. But even more, it will remind you that generosity is rooted not in what we do for God, but in what He has already done for us in Christ Jesus." —Matthew J. Hall, Provost, Biola University “This small volume contains the key to unlocking your generosity. Moving beyond tradition, law, and expectation, Harris drives readers into the text of Scripture to demonstrate how Christians share the Gospel though living generously! If you have ever wondered about how the Gospel connects to your giving, start here, apply what you learn, and see what God will do through you!”  —Dr. John Mark Yeats, President, Corban University "In Gospel Generosity , Dr. Harris discusses deep, theologic truths of Scripture while applying those truths with great simplicity to how we as Christians should be generous. This book is a helpful guide for any ministry leader or pastor, and for any believer who desires to understand how the gospel inspires generous hearts."  —Dr. Drew Flamm, President, Grace College & Seminary "How we think about generosity as Christians must be completely linked to the good news of God’s generosity to us in Jesus Christ. I am thankful Nathan Harris has written this book which I believe will be a helpful resource for churches in teaching generosity that is not coerced or driven by guilt, but rather as a response to our generous God. I will definitely be ordering copies for our local church." —Dean Inserra, Pastor, City Church, Tallahassee, Florida and author of The Unsaved Christian "Nathan Harris has made a valuable contribu
