I read this book three years ago...it is solid in terms of data. I read it because I feel like, even though it isn’t a Christ centered perspective, we absolutely have to collaborate and interface with the current work that is powerfully moving forward on poverty.
In our experience, in Portland, it is through this respectful engagement that then allows our relational approach to come to the forefront and the secular world begins to see that it is extremely significant to addressing poverty
