Being generous: the art of right living by Lucinda Vardey & John Dalla Costa.
2 v. of braille.
We can all be generous when Christmas rolls around, or when disaster strikes, but this kind of giving segregates generosity and makes it a special activity only for special times. We must investigate other possibilities for being generous, by helping those we interact with every day: our children, colleagues, parents, friends and the homeless men and women we encounter. If we ask, "What do you need?" we may be surprised how readily we can provide assistance, and how a single generous act may turn into something that touches many. 2007.
