Martin E. Marty on Love Let Go
The esteemed Martin Marty wrote about LaSalle’s check giveaway in 2014. He revisits the topic in this week’s column: “What’s new, two years later? Enough to fill the book Love Let Go with cheering and practical accounts and prompts for further action by others. In this short column we cannot even begin to elaborate on these; the book does that eloquently. We can, however, point to its thesis, as reflected in the subtitle: Radical Generosity for the Real World. I could profane the plot by writing a true but merely practical summary: ‘radical generosity works.’ But Truax and Campbell sacralize the story by rooting it in the trust and faith they demonstrate, as did their members.” « read more »
Chicago Tribune lauds Love Let Go
“Call it the iconoclast’s manifesto. ‘Love Let Go: Radical Generosity for the Real World’ inserts itself into our culture of consumption as a no-holds-barred call for grace-filled giving. It’s radical, all right.

Love Let Go called “One of the best books of the year”
Byron Borger of Hearts & Minds books recently reviewed Love Let Go: “This is a counter-cultural story that needs to be known, but it is also a rich study of the psychology of giving, the nature of living abundant lives within a culture that promotes scarcity, and the plausibility of being Christ-like in a world like ours. One of the best books of the year, I’m sure.”
