Giving What We Have (1897)

Giving What We Have is a non-fiction book written by Anna Robertson Brown Lindsay and first published in 1897. The book explores the concept of giving, both in terms of material possessions and personal qualities. Lindsay argues that everyone has something to give, whether it be money, time, skills, or kindness, and that giving is essential for personal growth and the betterment of society.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of giving. Lindsay discusses the benefits of giving, such as increased happiness and a sense of purpose, as well as the different ways in which individuals can give back to their communities. She also addresses the challenges of giving, such as finding the time and resources to do so, and offers practical advice for overcoming these obstacles.Throughout the book, Lindsay draws on her own experiences as a philanthropist and social reformer, as well as the stories of others who have made a difference through giving. She emphasizes the importance of giving with intention and purpose, rather than simply giving for the sake of it.Overall, Giving What We Have is a timeless guide to the power of giving, and a call to action for readers to use their own resources to make a positive impact in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
