With a new foreword by David Platt, two new chapters and a finalword on how to help without hurting, this expanded edition of When HelpingHurts creates a new paradigm for partnership by asking Christians to declareand demonstrate among people who are poor that Jesus Christ is making all thingsnew. While this book exposes past and current development efforts that churcheshave engaged in which unintentionally undermine the people they're trying to help,its central point is to provide proven strategies that challenge Christians to helpthe poor empower themselves. Focusing on both North American and Majority Worldcontexts, When Helping Hurts catalyzes the idea that sustainable change for peopleliving in poverty comes not from the outside-in, but from the inside-out.
