THE PURSE

In a world that celebrates giving, serving, and helping, few people stop to ask a deeper question:

What is happening in my heart while I do it?

The Purse: What You Give Means Nothing If Your Heart Is Not In It goes beyond surface-level generosity and explores the internal realities that often go unexamined. Through a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the Good Samaritan, Dr. Jennifer L. Agard reveals how it is possible to do the right thing while carrying the wrong spirit.

This book addresses the hidden tension many people experience:
Giving with obligation instead of compassion.
Serving while feeling resentful.
Helping while remaining emotionally disconnected.

With honesty, depth, and practical insight, readers are invited to pause, reflect, and realign. This is not about doing more-it is about becoming whole in how you give.

Whether you are a caregiver, leader, volunteer, or someone seeking to grow personally and spiritually, this book will challenge you to examine your motives, heal your heart, and transform the way you show up for others.

Because true giving is not just about what leaves your hand.

It is about what lives in your heart.
