In its May/June 2010 issue Health Progress writes:
For nurses and other health care providers, Verna Carson’s and Harold Koenig’s text will provide useful and timely information on the role of spirituality in health care. The book’s 13 contributing authors identify ways in which meeting patients’ spiritual needs is both a form of caring and a way to provide meaning in practice. The editors used a variety of contributors within and outside of nursing, representing a broad range of religious and spiritual experiences. Many of us chose a health care profession in order to provide care and comfort to others, and this book helps the reader address a very important aspect: spiritual care.

Sunday, February 21st kicked off Philadelphia Saves Week. The theme of this year’s saves week is to “smart small, think big.”
Philadelphia Saves is a coalition of community groups, non-profit and government agencies, local financial institutions, and trained volunteers who are committed to helping Delaware Valley residents “Build Wealth, Not Debt.” Through information, advice, and encouragement, Philadelphia Saves assists people who wish to pay down debt, build an emergency fund, or save for a home, education, investment, or retirement in order to improve their standard of living and most importantly, gain peace of mind.
The Philadelphia Inquirer talks about Philadelphia Saves Week in its recent article Saving can be a boon in a bad economy:
[Philadelphia Saves Week] encourages businesses and individuals to make saving more of a priority. Now is an excellent time for companies to promote the benefits and importance of saving to their employees and customers. For those in need of guidance, programs such as Philadelphia Saves are available to offer support, encouragement, and expert advice.
Multiple workshops are offered free to individuals throughout Saves Week. To view workshops that are being offered in the Philadelphia area, click here.

America Magazine, a Catholic weekly magazine in the United States, recently explored the concept of thrift by reviewing two recent publications on the topic: Thrift: Rebirth of a Forgotten Virtue by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch (Encounter Books) and our very own Franklin’s Thrift: The Lost History of an American Virtue by David Blankenhorn, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and Sorcha Brophy-Warren.
America on Franklin’s Thrift:
. . .quite accessible to the general reader. Engaging the changing legacy of thrift from the 18th century to the present, the contributors to this volume write energetically and with a grounded conviction on a subject of deep cultural significance as they challenge and confound “reductive and unappealing” views thrift.

“Thanksgiving can open the door to spiritual growth.”
This was one of the favorite sayings of the late Wall Street wizard, Sir John Templeton. With the Thanksgiving season upon us, now is the natural time to reflect on one’s blessings. Statistics show that this season also seems to inspire feelings of broader generosity as well.
Here at Templeton Press, we have a great new book out on this subject called Being Generous that explores it from historical, cultural, and even scientific perspectives. We are happy to see that we aren’t alone in celebrating generosity – indeed with the recent releases of other publishers’ books like The Art of Giving by Charles Bronfman and Jeffrey Solomon and 29 Gifts by Cami Walker, generosity appears to be something of a growing movement!
Keep an eye on our blog. We plan to share a mini series of Ted Malloch speaking on the virtue of generosity! It’s a must listen!

Dennis Whittle, CEO of GlobalGiving, recently wrote a piece for the Huffington Post on Theodore Roosevelt Malloch’s Being Generous.
In the article Whittle states:
What makes it especially powerful is [Malloch's] description of his own journey from self-described narcissism to compassion: “It never came easy. I have always had a “meritocratic” outlook. That is…you get what you earn, what you deserve….I found it hard – often very hard – to give what I had earned away.”
