From Library Journal:
The authors describe the pleasures of heartfelt service through the wit and wisdom of ancient philosophers, the Bible, classic literature, and some contemporary popular personalities. Making a contribution to life should be a constant goal, they challenge, while pointing out that the primary benefit givers attain is the joy of giving itself. This insightful and refreshing look at the art of giving asks some interesting questions about duty, needs, interference, guilt, anger, and unworthiness. The authors conclude that there are no pat answers to giving dilemmas and offer some commonsense suggestions on emotions, intuition, and personal safety. Sally Kirkland and Peter McWilliams read with sincerity. Recommended for public libraries.
