DESCRIPTION

The new generation of evangelical social activists and missionaries often lack a clear understanding of how lasting individual and social transformation happens--and further, how to accomplish good among the 'have nots' without inadvertently also bringing harm. Bauman's challenge invites a reading in one sitting. He targets individuals and churches who are increasingly wary of traditional approaches, and are looking for wiser, more culturally sensitive ways to live out faith in action. He draws on a wealth of experience in global relief, justice and church work.
