From the Back Cover

Do you have enough?

Our culture pushes us to strive for more--more money, more stuff, more clout. But how much is enough? And how do we know when we have too much of a good thing?

In this provocative book, Will Davis Jr. challenges us to discover the peace that comes through contentment with what we have and compassion for those in need. Through surprising statistics, scriptural insight, and powerful real-life stories, Davis shows us the rewards of living with less in order to be more and do more with our lives.

If you want to pursue a life that truly satisfies, read on.


"Enough challenges the status quo pursuit of the American dream, which has produced less-than-stellar results. If your goal is actually feeling wealthy, secure, and as though you finally have enough, then Will's book is a must-read!"--John Burke, author of No Perfect People Allowed

"If you've ever been guilty of searching for enough in all the wrong places (ahem, like me!), I dare you to read this book. Be warned that it will make you squirm in places, but in a good way--a very good way."--Vicki Courtney, author of 5 Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter

"I am so thankful for this book. I have been thinking about downsizing my lifestyle and freeing myself from the maintenance of too much accumulated stuff! After reading Will's book, I am convicted to actually do it."--Nancy Turner, host of This Is the Day for Moody Radio

"As usual, Will Davis Jr. has challenged me at a deep level. I am truly inspired to rethink my perspective on working, money, and the pursuit of the American dream. I highly recommend Enough for every American!"--Debbie Chavez, talk show host at www.faithplace.org; women's conference speaker

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-Opening August 1, 2012
Format:Paperback
There are a few books that you'll read in your lifetime that will have a lasting impression and affect real change in your day-to-day living - Enough is one of them. While I read most books by Will Davis, Jr., this one spoke the loudest to me.

Most of us will go through life never coming face-to-face with real poverty - never knowing what it's like to not have enough. Most of us have been blessed with far beyond what we really need to survive, and yet, we spend so much time complaining about what we don't have and still have the nerve to ask for more. Enter Enough. Once you open the cover of this book, you better be ready for real life change. It will open your eyes to the world around you and make you see and appreciate all that God has given you. But it doesn't stop there - you will also start to see your resources, your income and your time as opportunities to bless and serve others. Have you ever wondered why God has given you more than enough? He expects us to be good stewards of our gifts and use them to serve those who have less than enough. After all, everything that we have is really God's - not our own.

In his book, Will redefines what "enough" actually is. He provides a healthy dose of perspective in making us examine our own resources in comparison to those of the rest of the world. And then he lowers the boom by making you ask yourself the harrowing question, "where does my treasure lie?" If you're like me, your monthly credit card statement probably reveals that you spend more time eating out and shopping than meeting the needs of those around you. Will goes out of his way to point out that there's nothing wrong with having more than enough - God has blessed you with those gifts. But how will you use them? Will you choose to buy a flashy car, keep up with the latest fashion trends or upgrade your living situation or will you put food on the table for a needy family, fund a mission trip or change the life of someone who really needs help? The possibilities are endless, and you'll get far more fulfillment from the latter.

I'll be honest: parts of this book are hard to read because you may realize that you're not living in accordance with God's will, and it's hard to want to live selflessly - it goes completely against our culture and way of life. But it's worth it. Enough has changed the way I view my financial situation, and I encourage everyone to take the challenge of living with less.

5.0 out of 5 stars How much is Enough? July 2, 2012
Format:Paperback
How much is Enough? Do we really need more than we have? What if we could finally come to the understanding that what we have right this minute is really and truly enough? Will Davis Jr., pastor of Austin Christian Fellowship in Texas thinks that people that live in our culture don't really underestand how to be content with what we have.

A few weeks ago I received a copy of Enough: Finding More by Living with Less by Will Davis Jr.

As I was reading this book I started looking around my house, garage and yard. I really do have `enough'. I have enough food, shelter, water, clothes and stuff to survive and even thrive. Sometimes the stuff that we have starts to blug our perspective. Davis calls this blurred vision, SMOG. We get so lost in the smog around us that we lose our focus on what makes us really happy.

My take away from this book is a heightened sense of what really matters.

I have a huge stack of stuff now in the garage waiting to donate to my friend's yard sale.
I have several piles designated to pass to friends and family.
I have 2 huge bags of extra trash - things that really have no value but have been taking up space.

This book is a wake up call to help us realize that enough is actualy enough. If we're not content with what we already have, then it would be hard for us to be content with more.

You can buy Enough: Finding More by Living with Less from Amazon.

Do you have ENOUGH? How can you decide when you have enough? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Especially since this blog is called Real Life Deals! Do these deals and savings ideas I post help us grow in contentment? Hmmm.... something to think about today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Davis is right on July 29, 2012
Format:Paperback
After several visits to "third world" areas for various service projects, I began to think about how much we have compared to the majority world. Will's book, "Enough, Finding More by Living with Less" really solidified some of my ideas on the subject. I think a lot of American's could change their priorities by reading this book and don't a service project in a third-world country.
