When Helping Hurts
Book Review
Profound and Practical! The authors explore why our extensive efforts and millions of dollars towards poverty alleviation are missing the mark. They provide documentation, scenarios, and a helpful matrix to realign our view of poverty. Even better, the authors found their matrix upon the Scriptures and the good news of Jesus Christ. The authors also explore multiple helpful solutions demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of each. This book is more than just a book for understanding and improving. It is comprehensive and deep enough that it serves as a good reference book as well. I plan to pull this off the shelf often.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
