Be Do Give Love

By Erik Larson & Madailein Larson
Be Do Give Love by Erik Larson & Madailein Larson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

What if the answers to life's biggest questions could be found in just four words? BE: Who am I? DO: What am I doing? GIVE: What difference does it make? LOVE: Why does it matter?

Be Do Give Love is a father-daughter memoir born in the aftermath of a winter funeral, a spring reboot, and a summer of road trips and reflection. What began as grief, trauma, and crisis became an unexpected opportunity to work together, launch a publishing imprint, and complete the work of bringing a grandfather's World War II memoir to a wider audience.

At the heart of their journey is a framework, not invented, but revealed through lived experience. With honesty, humor, and vulnerability, Erik Larson and Maddie Larson share stories of loss and renewal, breakdowns and breakthroughs, faith and doubt.

Rediscover the simplicity of timeless truths all too easily overlooked, and use the insights and questions in this book to align your Actions with your Identity to make a positive Impact in the world.
