Publisher's Summary: Displays the amazing power of generosity to transform people and communities. When LaSalle Street Church in Chicago received an unexpected windfall, its leaders made the wild, counterintuitive decision to give $160,000 away to church members - 500 each. They were simply told to go out and do good in God's world. What happened next was amazing. In Love Let Go listeners learn how a church community was transformed by the startling truth that money can buy happiness - so long as you spend it on others. Laura Sumner Truax and Amalya Campbell tell how this radical generosity experiment worked in their church, explore the connection of human flourishing to generosity, and offer tools to help us reclaim our giver identities and live generously - to love and let go.

Members Reviews: The Power of Giving I am an avid reader who enjoys thought provoking topics. I measure the quality of a book by the amount of reflection it invokes upon conclusion. Love Let Go is one of those unique books. A read at one sitting type of work that leaves you wonderfully pondering how you might approach the next moment in life.

Five Stars Inspirational.

A Powerful Invitation to be a Part of the Healing I was interested in the story because I heard a bit of it from a friend who it turns out is Laura Truax's son. I bought the book because I was interested to find out what the church did with the $1.6m windfall. What I got was far more. LLG provides fascinating insights contrasting world views based on scarcity and abundance. I believe strongly that this lies at the center (or at least very near the center) of struggle for survival of most institutional churches today. Such recognition is vital to the issue of why be a part of a church. The authors also make an excellent argument for the existence of an innate penchant for generosity. The stories shared and arguments for such a reality complement each other and provide a powerful basis on which to affirm such a claim. LaSalle Street Church serves as an excellent backdrop for promoting the importance of discovering and embracing a founding framework as a church (or person) seeks to be source of life to a world in need of hope. Truax and Campbell weave together the insights they've learned with the narratives of the church and its people in a way that highlights the importance of sharing ones narrative with others, both for the sake of the hearer and the teller. They show clearly how, in telling our stories, we are reminded of them so that they can have their influence on our own lives. In reflecting on who they are as a church they were better able to focus on their foundation, built on abundance rather than scarcity. Late in the book I found myself weeping as I read some of the stories of people who walked boldly in that faith. As I approached the conclusion, I was struck by the notion that for a church that sincerely embraces the call to be a part of the struggle for justice, there is no need for a windfall like LaSalle's. To embrace the LoveLetGo way of life requires the sort of vision given in the book, and a faith in a God who provides. I will be sharing the book with pastors and friends and hoping that there will be stories of the power of Love Let Go in many communities. Read it.
