Description

With more than 300,000 copies in print, When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming up to date classic relating to poverty alleviation.

Poverty is a lot more than simply a loss of material resources, and it takes a lot more than donations and handouts to solve it. When Helping Hurts shows how some alleviation efforts, failing to believe the complexities of poverty, have if truth be told (and accidentally) done more harm than good.

But it looks ahead. It encourages us to see the dignity in everyone, to empower the materially poor, and to know that we are all uniquely needy—and that God within the gospel is reconciling all things to himself.

Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, When Helping Hurts provides proven strategies for effective poverty alleviation, catalyzing the concept sustainable change comes not from the outdoor in, but from the inside out.
