Ohioana Book Award 2005
An exploration of the contemporary world of giving, via the wisdom of an ancient scholar. Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, called the book “a much-needed guide for anyone who believes in the noble precept that to give is to share.”
“The audience for this book is, basically, everyone. We can all benefit from its prod to examine how and why we volunteer, make charitable donations, help in times of crisis, give handouts to the “deserving” and/or the “undeserving.” —Philanthropy News Digest
“This is an extraordinarily graceful book about a sometimes awkward subject.” —Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler
