Thomas Jacob has passion for helping youth and his dedication is changing lives! He's a role model that inspires others to give without expecting anything in return and the results are profound.

Giving Without Taking highlights the power of gratitude and its impressive impact on society! Thomas Jacob acknowledges the direct and indirect benefits he has reaped from the society and therefore was compelled to give back to it by creating the Life Scholar Project. The book clearly expresses in words and with visual aids, the mission of the Life Scholar Project. I believe it will inspire others to also give back to their community for its betterment and, to quote Thomas, leave something of value for future generations!

The book (Giving without taking, My Why) is like a unique hand crafted painting or a calligraphy perfected by an artist with a heart. May this be the future of tomorrow.

This short book tugs at your feelings and propels one into creating a sustainable and lasting legacy for future generations. Rather than once and done, this book talks about creating a ripple effect in communities - broadening the impact of change - propagating a small change to something way bigger.

Giving without taking anything from people is really good, it’s called being generous and caring. It is an act of wholeheartedness, kindness and compassion toward people especially the poor when giving out things. For instance; the motherless babies homes, there are children who are dying of starvation and hunger so giving them food and water without asking for anything in return is called kindness and alms-giving.

“Giving without taking” is like breathing of fresh air. Our world today a world of war, turmoil and despair. This book , thought small is powerful in its concept of “paying it forward.” Our writer was given the support he needed when starting out to get his education . He was given the tools to not only support his family, but also to work at a job he enjoys & contributes to society. He started this program to helps support people, who needed assistance in get their start in life. His program also gives others the opportunity to assistance the less fortunate. People that might otherwise fall through the cracks. It’s a win win concept. Hats off to Thomas Jacobs & also his wife and family.

I am a firm believer that “Life experience is a True Guru”. I can relate to the life journey that Thomas Jacob has been through. I have known him for more than 20 years.

First and foremost, the purchase supports scholarships for disadvantaged students. The booklet explains the path of travel for an emerging leader and someone who is using their success to give back to others knowing their direct return is inconsequential. Thomas wants others to be able to fulfill their dreams or simply achieve the stability they need. As a purpose statement, this booklet is just the beginning. I am hopeful every year, Thomas adds to this as a revised booklet in order to share the stories of this journey, including the stories of those he's impacted. I am hopeful this is just a first step.

This book truly lives up to its title of giving without taking.

Awesome book to begin with! A very different perspective of giving explained in the simplest form. The book is a great read and highly recommended.

A wonderful inspiring book that really makes you think. What a difference we could all make if we would all just be open to giving selflessly. The author is someone who's committed to making a difference and helping those in need. This is definitely a life lesson to instill in our young.

Learning how to be selfless doesn't cost a thing. When you give somethinga lot of times we expect someone togive us somethingin return therefore negating whatever kind gesture we performed. Learning to give without getting anything back is a value we base in christian morals and values. The feeling you get from a high power, or just knowing someone else has made it another day without troubles is amasing.

Firstly, I like it that this book is short and the contents are so short, which means I can easily read this book in an afternoon. I do not really understand his road map though he did explain, however i think i got the gist and the concept of it. Afterall, giving back is really not hard to comprehend. I was reading and did not really get a clear definition of what is meant by "non-traditional" students. I took it to mean students who didn't have the same opportunities that most kids have, or "lesser privileged". I feel that this is basically a call to action/call to donate but put into a short book concept. Do check out his website.

You could really make a difference in your community, if you can help at risk youths. Education can really impact a kids life and it's harder for some kids. This program offers scholarships and mentoring to kids that are in at risk programs in their schools

Wish everyone could be as selfless and giving as the author. It was inspirational to read about the impact to others and hope that I can reflect some of that selflessness into my own life.

This book is inspiring in its ability to touch a community that lives among us but in the shadows. He was able to alter the lives of a few people by reaching out and building a network of benevolent supporters, and he inspires all of us.

Too frequently these days, individuals do not contribute without considering what they will receive in return. This book does an outstanding job of elucidating the concept of selfless giving. It is a little book, only approximately twenty-four pages long, but it is an instructive read that is well worth your time.

I adore this and this book; if only more people felt the same way, I believe the world would be a better place. I believe it's wonderful to be able to assist others; it makes a difference. This book demonstrates how and is incredible.

As a retired school administrator, this book really pulls at my heart strings. The nontraditional students I have served over the years have taken various different paths and an endeavor such as this one can have a huge impact on the lives of so many more. This is a wonderful reminder that when we all put forth just a little bit of effort through genuine kindness and love, we can truly make a difference. The donation form is clear and concise. The only additional concept I would like to see is an anonymous donation option. When I send a blessing to someone, I receive more joy when I do so anonymously.

I love this and this book if only there were more people who felt this way I think the world would be a better place. I think it's so good to be able to help people if you can do it it makes a difference. This book shows how and is amazing.

I like how this book discusses about giving without taking and the importance of helping those in need. I like how to author of this book explained his “why” and his importance of generosity and selflessness. I recommend this book to anyone especially if you looking to learn the aspects of generosity and helping those in need.

A wonderful book that is both selfless and full of love. So honored to have a copy of this one as it focuses on human kindness and generosity. Well done!

When the most at-risk in a community are given access to resources to better themselves, their whole community benefits. Giving Without Taking was such an inspirational read, prompting readers to reach out to those in need and not expect anything back directly. I love the mission of his organization!

We all do our part to the causes we feel close to heart to support. For anyone looking to do more than donating to a cause, this book is a must read. This book gives us a first person narrative of how the author developed a platform to empower students that do not fit the societal norms of a conventional student. Reminded me of what Sri M. Visvesvaraya, regarded as a pre-eminent engineer of India once said "To give real service you must add something that cannot be bought and measured by money". Furthermore, net proceeds from the sale of this book fund scholarship grants and help troubled youth gather life long skills.

The author skillfully prompts readers to contemplate the importance of altruism through his personal story- emphasizing the value of giving without expecting reciprocation. The book offers a set of charity initiatives to support "At Risk" children in realizing their full potential. Undoubtedly, it champions a noble cause. I eagerly anticipate future works of inspiration from this author.
