Helping Without Hurting in Church Benevolence by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert


This book is a very helpful handbook for those in church leadership who make decisions about giving financial help to their own members and to those outside the church coming to the church for assistance.  The book begins by explaining the basic principles of poverty relief and guides you through the complex nature of poverty.  The purpose is to prepare you see the challenges faced by low income families and to prepare you to walk along with those individuals in humility helping them to transform their lives.

Also included in this book are helpful tools and resources that the church can use as you enter into relationships with low income individuals. Various scenarios are also described to help you to see how the principles presented in this book are applied. An online portal with resources is also included at the end of the book.

This book is an extremely helpful tool to enable churches to respond in a compassionate and godly way to those who are hurting financially.

I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for this honest review.
