When More is Not Enough [interview with Amy Sullivan]

September 25, 2014 by Amelia

I am excited to introduce you to a new friend of mine, Amy Sullivan – blogger and author extraordinaire. Amy has just released a new book titled When More is Not Enough, How to Stop Giving Your Kids What They Want and Give Them What They Need.

Here’s a quick bit about the book: “Amy L. Sullivan believes no one loves harder and more completely than children. She also believes selfies, cell phones, must-have tech gadgets, and the sparkly allure of possessions lull kids into an insatiable desire for more.

When More is Not Enough celebrates the idea of more: more prayers cried out, more time spent together, more use of our talents, more interest in strangers, more forgiveness of hurt, more of what Jesus taught us each day of His life. This book focuses on helping children grow generous hearts, tender spirits, and a deep compassion for others.

Filled with biblical reasoning, real-life anecdotes, practical resources, and start-this-very-second activities, When More is Not Enough is for families who are ready to move from seeing generosity as a series of tasks and instead, turn it into a way life.”

I had the privilege of interviewing Amy the other day over Skype. You will love hearing Amy’s heart for generosity and giving back to our communities. Then, go check out When More is Not Enough – How to Stop Giving Your Kids What They Want and Give Them What They Need! (E-mail subscribers, you  may need to click through to see the video!)

Check out Start a Snowball mentioned by Amy in the interview at startasnowball.org
P.S. Amy and I will both be at the Breathe Christian Writers Conference October 10-11. We would love to see you there! Registration ends in just 1 week!
