About the book

Serving.LOVE Finding JOY

What if one of the most reliable ways to experience more joy in your own life is to intentionally bring love and joy into the lives of others?
That is the heart of Serving.LOVE Finding JOY.
Hank Tate believes love is more than something we feel. Love is something we do. It is expressed when we notice someone who needs encouragement, take time to listen, help without being asked, recognize someone who is often overlooked, offer compassion during a difficult moment, celebrate another person’s success, or simply let someone know, “You matter.”
And those seemingly small acts can have an extraordinary impact—not only on the person receiving them, but also on the person giving them.
Serving.LOVE Finding JOY is a practical guide to developing a lifestyle of intentional love, caring, compassion, encouragement, generosity, and service. Drawing from decades of personal experiences, relationships, leadership, business, family life, community involvement, and service to others, Hank shares stories and practical ideas that demonstrate how anyone can make a meaningful difference in another person’s life.
You don’t need a lot of money.
You don’t need a special position.
You don’t need to start an organization.
You don’t even need a lot of extra time.
You simply need to begin looking for opportunities to LOVE.
Throughout the book, you’ll discover dozens of practical ways to serve and love the people already around you—your spouse, children, extended family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, employees, customers, strangers, people who are struggling, and people you may encounter only once.
Some opportunities may take only seconds. Others may become relationships lasting a lifetime.
The goal isn’t to complete a checklist of good deeds. It is to develop a way of seeing people differently—to become more aware of their needs, their value, their struggles, and the opportunities we have every day to make their lives a little better.
At its core, Serving.LOVE Finding JOY presents a simple but life-changing principle:
When we intentionally look for ways to LOVE and serve others, we often discover that JOY finds its way back to us.
This book is both an invitation and a challenge: start where you are, use what you have, notice the people around you, and find one more way today to show someone they matter.
You may change their day.
You may change their life.
And in the process, you may discover that Serving.LOVE really does lead to Finding JOY.

Praise for Serving.LOVE Finding JOY

★★★★★

"“Hank Tate is a ‘Walking Hug’ who loves to love others. I don’t think he knows any strangers in his life because he walks up to a stranger, greets, and makes them a friend, just like he became a great friend to me and my wife. He is a people person and a servant Leader who loves to talk, listen, and care genuinely. Many fondly call him ‘Pops’, not just his own children. I am blessed to know him and his wife. If you can read, his life is a book. The next best thing is to read his book ‘Serving LOVE Finding JOY” "

"Hank's book, Serving.LOVE Finding Joy is a reflection of his life principles in action. It is much more than a good read. His book serves as a template to expand your life to touch other people's lives in compassionate and meaningful ways. It is a MUST READ!"

Rabbi Daniel Lerner

★★★★★

"Friend, there are people who walk through difficult valleys, and it shows. It shows on their faces, and it shows on their bodies, and it shows in their responses to people. And then there are people who walk through difficult valleys and their whole being radiates something not indicative of their circumstances. They are looking for God to show Himself strong in the circumstance so that God can be glorified. They do it because of the joy they have in God. That’s Hank! If you are looking to unlock something that will bring about real joy in your life, then you will want to keep reading. Hank Tate is a genuine man who will relay some incredible wisdom that can bring about change in your life."
