Description

The well-being of people who find themselves financially safe depends on the well-being of those who don’t seem to be, those who fall into the working poor, or Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed (ALICE). We are interdependent both materially and spiritually and are diminished by the extent to which we don’t flourish together.

In Building the Good Life for All, L. Shannon Jung explores four strategies for mutual flourishing: charity, self-lend a hand, cultural value formation, and government action. Relatively than theorizing on the causes of peoples poverty, the chapters demonstrate how these transformational strategies work and how others can participate in them. Discussion questions with every chapter lend a hand groups process what they’re learning and how they may be able to apply these strategies in my view and in their community.

Designed to be read and discussed in seven sessions, this book encourages the social ministry of churches and the community development of neighborhoods. Churches and community groups will find themselves revitalized through this study and through enacting its strategies to lend a hand their neighbors.
