Mr. Stanley is a pastor of a rather large evangelical church in California. One might assume, from the title of this book that he is begging for money, but this is not the case! This book begins and ends with the story of Jeremiah Clary, a dust-bowl affected farmer from Oklahoma during the Great Depression. Mr. Clary has had 3 plantings blown away by the wind and he has just enough seeds to remaining to plant once more. Should he take the chance? Taking the chance is the premise of this book. I found it an honest and compelling book on the nature of generosity. 134 pages ( )
