| AMAZON DESCRIPTION:
Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about
the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable
harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational
concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The
result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated
gospel. A situation is assessed for whether relief, rehabilitation, or
development is the best response to a situation. Efforts are characterized by an
"assest based" approach rather than a "needs based" approach. Short term mission
efforts are addressed and microenterprise development (MED) is
explored.
