Giving That Delights the Heart of the Father
Once you see your gifts from God’s perspective, your giving will never be the same. When she was a toddler, Jeff Anderson’s daughter opened his eyes to how delighted God is with our gifts. She brought him a plastic donut from her play kitchen, and he was surprised by the intensity of his reaction. His delight in receiving this simple gift—and his daughter’s joy in giving it—led him to dig deeper. Anderson would not rest until he found the scriptural connection between our gifts and God’s heart. Plastic Donuts removes the awkwardness and uncertainty that often accompany discussions about giving. Now you can think differently—and biblically—about what and how you give. Your gifts can capture God’s attention and connect you more intimately with His heart. Plastic Donuts brings everyone—leaders and followers, teachers and learners—onto the same page.

Book Review - Plastic Donuts: Giving that Delights the Heart of the Father by Jeff Anderson - this a short, easy to read, engaging book on the nature and purpose of giving in the Christian life. It would make a very good book for small group discussion. The central metaphor is from the author's 18 month old giving him a plastic donut. And the delight that both he and she felt at that small gift.
