Resources for Living the Generous Life
Women play a vital role in today’s economy and are often responsible for managing a great deal of wealth at some point in their lives. Because they generally outlive men, most women will end up responsible for the finances their husbands leave behind. Adding to the emotional stress of widowhood is the unsettling prospect of handling thousands—even millions—of dollars for the first time in their lives. Since most women have not received basic financial training, many will fall prey to bad advice and will never experience the freedom God promises through generous giving.
Generous Giving seeks to address the unique barriers that women face in their journeys to generosity. Since women’s motivation and approach to giving are different from men’s, we have selected the resources below to equip women with the tools they need to be wise and confident givers.
