Joy Giving: Practical Wisdom from the First Christians and the Global Church

by Cameron Doolittle

Based on a careful study of Scripture and hundreds of interviews with Christian givers on every populated continent, Doolittle spent years looking for answers to one simple question: Why doesn’t giving feel more joyful for so many believers?

He roots his answer in the practices of the early Church, treating generosity as a “get to,” not a “have to.”

• Practical answers to common questions, like “how much is enough?”
• Wisdom drawn from the early Church’s giving practices
• Modern examples from Christian givers worldwide
• Balancing wise stewardship with generous kingdom giving
• Reframing generosity as joy rather than obligation

Joy Giving offers fresh insight into how to rediscover giving as a source of genuine delight, not duty.
