Book Study

My husband Rocky and I recently attended the first session of one of the small groups we are in at Grace Church this semester. We are disscussing the book When Helping Hurts:Alleviating Poverty without Hurting the Poor...and Ourselves . It's going to be a great book to discuss in a group. I've read it twice already and still don't feel that I have digested as much of it as I would like. If you are interested in learning how to effectively minister to the poor both in the US and abroad I think this is a must read.

One of the couples in the group has just moved back to Durham to work in community based economic development. It will be interesting learning from them and with them as they walk this out with their East Durham Community.
