While other writings about philanthropy lay out reasons to give, this book takes an unflinching look at the underlying excuses that we so often make for not giving. The stories in When Women Give fundamentally challenge the ways that we stifle our generosity. Ultimately, When Women Give serves as a call to move beyond our fears—that we don't have enough, that our giving can't make a difference, that by serving others we'll damage ourselves—in order to embark on the great adventure of a generous life.

"When Women Give clarifies the impact of my role as a professional and paints an very clear picture of the impact of my financial contributions—a picture I could only see before in black and white. The final chapter pierced my heart, leaving it as fertile soil ready to receive God's best, to give my firstfruits and storm my office Monday morning with reckless abandon. I will conquer my market share and live the great adventure! What if women really grabbed ahold of this concept? Imagine the advancement of God's kingdom here on earth."

"I was captivated by the stories shared in Kim King's book. As I work with women in the workplace, I'm surprised at the lack of understanding of financial tools available to enable giving in a much bigger way than most imagine. Not only does Kim provide 'giving' guidance, but she shares stories where God truly takes hearts and opens them to never-thought-about possibilities regarding generosity."

"Inspiration, education, and practical roadmap all in one. As if that weren't enough, the laugh-out-loud moments are pure delight. A helpful read for anyone curious about generosity and the world of nonprofits."

"Kim King has written an outstanding book on generosity—a topic that is embodied with integrity in her daily life. This is not just a book for women, but one that men and women alike should read. It's compelling, comprehensive, and filled with biblical and practical wisdom. It's well researched and full of personal stories and practical tools. I commend it to you highly."

"I first met Kim ten years ago. Her journey of growing generosity has been a great encouragement to me and all those who know her. In her new book, she offers useful insights and practical steps for anyone thinking about questions related to money and giving. I wholeheartedly recommend When Women Give. Kim is another example of the reality that there are no unhappy generous people!"

"Several things have struck me since I first met Kim King a decade and a half ago: she has a positive and generous spirit, she is a serious follower of Jesus, and she is a passionate and effective teacher. Kim approaches this subject matter with much the same curiosity, openness, and intentionality. She studied financial generosity, opened herself up to the prompting of the Spirit, and then experimented—courageously expanding its hold on her life. With her storytelling and insights, Kim found a way to draw me and others in. This is Kim's big idea in her own words: 'The greater the giving, the greater the adventure, and the greater the adventure, the greater the joy.' As Gary Haugen, founder and director of International Justice Mission says, 'Joy is the fuel for the passion of our obedience.' This could be the subtitle for the book. As a Christian man having grown up in the generation that saw an avalanche of cultural change with women entering the workforce outside the home, I'm fascinated with not only the statistics Kim reports, but the stories that bring these statistics to life. This is must-read for women who want to understand (and be empowered by understanding) gender differences and similarities around giving, generosity, and philanthropy, but also for men who want to nurture these things—and sometimes get out of the way."

"We do not typically think about giving as an adventure, but When Women Give opens our hearts and minds to the joy of living generously. Too often we sit in the pews and hear about giving to meet a church budget or to build a new church facility. We miss the connection of partnering with God to let him direct how he wants us to use his money and resources. When Women Give shares inspiring stories of generous giving but also provides practical information and tools for us to use in joining God on the journey of generosity."

"I know Kim King personally and can testify that she takes the challenge in 1 Timothy 6:17-19 to live generously seriously. In this timely book, she encourages you to do the same while showing you how. You will not regret applying her sage advice."

"When God blesses us with the talent and opportunity that enables us to achieve financial success, we want to honor him. But we need a game plan. This book provides an eye-opening common-sense approach for every woman seeking a life of kingdom giving and living. Whether serving on a board or providing financial support, you will learn much and find yourself well equipped to fulfill God's plan for his kingdom."
