When Helping Hurts



I'm reading this book right now and I say 'Amen' after every page! This book is about the American Church and its general perspective on poverty and how to work with the 'poor' and alleviate poverty around the world. As I've been on the mission-field a little over a year now, I'm seeing how our often 'American-mindset' can cripple those in poverty. I encourage anyone who has a heart for missions (near and far) to read this book and re-think how they naturally, often thoughtlessly serve others.
