His own job loss forced him and his family to relocate in 2008, and he writes poignantly of what he's personally lived through. No stranger to the emotional and spiritual difficulties that accompany any major life change, the author shares intimately how he put into practice the biblical principle of \"giving unto others\" as he worked through his own grief, sorrow, and loss during the transition that uprooted his family. The lessons Post learned make up this practical resource that urges purposeful giving, even while feeling the stings of disappointment and hardship. Post's work is more than a feel-good read. It's today's handbook for survival.\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, January 10, 2011 \u003cp\u003e“This inspirational, motivational, and feel good book will leave you bursting with an overflowing bucket list of things you will want to do.”\u003cbr\u003eRead more: http:\/\/kennedybookreviews.blogspot.com\/2011\/04\/hidden-gifts-of-helping-how-power-of.html#ixzz1KCDvNGU0\"\u003cbr\u003e© 2011 Kennedy Book Reviews.
