Description

How often do you say “yes” to God in your daily life? Do you regularly share that yes with others?

Generous living isn’t just about putting money in the collection basket during Mass or always being the one who steps up to help out. According to bestselling Catholic author, speaker, blogger, and creator of CatholicMom.com Lisa M. Hendey, generous living is about consistently answering God’s call to act through mission and loving service to others. In The Grace of Yes, Hendey shares eight spiritual virtues that have allowed her—and will help you—live generously and joyously say yes to God.

With warmth and practical advice, Hendey helps you become more open to God’s unique plan for your life through the virtues of belief, generativity, creativity, integrity, humility, vulnerability, saying no, and starting over. As she candidly reflects on her own faith journey, Hendey guides you toward your own path of generous giving.

Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection and a prayer that invites you into a deeper relationship with God.

  • “Teaches, challenges, and encourages.”

    “It's easier to say no than it is to say yes. 'No' is safe. 'No' is simple. But 'no' isn't always the right answer. Lisa Hendey's The Grace of Yes teaches, challenges, and encourages us how to say yes to God and others. Should you read this book? Yes! And God's grace will work within you.”

  • “A resounding YES!”

    “We spend so much time thinking about the yeses in our calendars, our checkbooks, our parenting and other relationships that we sometimes forget the most important yes of all—our response to the call of God. Lisa Hendey shares her wisdom, her heart, and her experiences to remind us and refine us as we read. I give this book a resounding YES!”
