About this item
Should I give to the guy standing there with a sign? How can I give to others when I can barely pay my own bills? How can I really make a difference? Giving isn't always about money, much less a lot of money. Leigh Anne Tuohy, whose family inspired the hit film The Blind Side, challenges us to re-think what giving really means. Turn Around is a five-day-per-week devotional that uses scripture as a springboard to reconsider what it means to give sacrificially, generously, and immediately many times, without having to leave your own community. We encounter opportunities to give every single day; what may seem like a small gesture to us may make a world of difference in someone else s life. Make your next step one that causes you to turn around and meet a need.
