Walking with the Poor: Principles and Practices of Transformational Development (Revised, Expanded)

* Advance Praise and Reviews * "A book from which Christians of every church tradition can draw deeply and profit greatly. The practical wisdom found here can only be the result of what is expressed by its title: walking with the poor." -Stephen B. Bevans, Catholic Theological Union In this revised and updated edition of a modern classic, Bryant Myers shows how Christian mission can contribute to dismantling poverty and social evil. Integrating the best principles and practices of the international development community, the thinking and experience of Christian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) around the world, and a theological framework for transformational development, Myers demonstrates what is possible when we cease to treat the spiritual and physical domains of life as separate and unrelated. Walking with the Poor is a book for all those engaged in mission around the world, whether on the ground, or in the classroom, ministry office, or local church.
