Love Let Go

Radical Generosity for the Real World

By: Laura Truax, Amalya Campbell

Narrated by: Jessica Schell

Displays the amazing power of generosity to transform people and communities.

When LaSalle Street Church in Chicago received an unexpected windfall, its leaders made the wild, counterintuitive decision to give $160,000 away to church members - 500 each. They were simply told to go out and do good in God's world. What happened next was amazing.

In Love Let Go listeners learn how a church community was transformed by the startling truth that money can buy happiness - so long as you spend it on others. Laura Sumner Truax and Amalya Campbell tell how this radical generosity experiment worked in their church, explore the connection of human flourishing to generosity, and offer tools to help us reclaim our giver identities and live generously - to love and let go.

An inspiring and amazing story

Although I found it took me a little while to get into the flow of the story, this is an inspiring account of the impact of generosity on both the recipients and the givers. In fact, it contains not just the amazing story of the church that gave away a windfall, but a myriad of interwoven tales of individual acts of selflessness and the impacts that they had.

I don’t usually get tears in my eyes while listening to audiobooks, but this one had that effect on me multiple times. If you want to be inspired by tales of real people living out the simplicity of the Gospel you need to listen to this amazing story.
