Book Cover & Preview Text
When I think of the highest calling of all, the best thing we could ever do, it comes down to people. Jesus died for people, all people. The good, the bad, the ugly. If we are to be like Him, we must follow after His heart. And Jesus had a heart for people. He died right there for the people who were spitting on Him, beating Him, mocking Him, whipping Him, pounding nails into His flesh, calling Him names, denying Him and His power and position in the Heaven. He died a bloody mess with the weight of the worlds’ sin on Him. Then the darkness came and made the day seem as night. The earth shook with a violence never seen by man. Rocks split. Graves opened. The veil was torn from top to bottom. The centurion and other guards said in great fear, “Truly this was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54) This was no ordinary Man. This was no ordinary day. This day changed all of history once and for all.
Wow! So what is twenty bucks compared to that? It is basically nothing in comparison to the ultimate price Jesus paid for us, but when done with a heart like that of the Living Savior, it shows the love of God and His heart for people. Jesus is always our example. He gave all. I only dare you to give twenty bucks and see what happens. I bet you will see some change. Don’t be surprised if that change begins with you.

About the Book
Have you ever had a stranger pay for your dinner? Or buy you new shoes? Fill your tank with gas? Supply food for your child? Has a stranger ever blessed you financially and let you know that Jesus loves you on one of your darkest days? What a blessing that is! But the greater blessing is to be that stranger who pays it forward while being led by God.
In Twenty Bucks and Some Change, author Kathy L. Pierce shares a collection of uplifting pay-it-forward stories, where just a small contribution of time, effort, and a little spare change turned into opportunities for witnessing the amazing presence of God in our everyday lives. Whether it’s offering someone a thoughtful memento, caring for a person in need, or sharing the gospel message of Christ with someone in spiritual darkness, these stories show both the simple and profound ways in which we can all see each other as special, just as God sees us.
It is better to give than to receive, and Twenty Bucks and Some Change can inspire you to let your light shine and change lives through God’s blessings. The more you give, the more you will want to give—and the more God will enable you to give.
