{"product_id":"9780802487629","title":"When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor . . . and Yourself","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith more than 300,000 copies in print, \u003ci\u003eWhen Helping Hurts\u003c\/i\u003e is  a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation and  ministry to those in need. Emphasizing the poverty of both heart and society, this  book exposes the need that every person has and how it can be filled. The reader  is brought to understand that poverty is much more than simply a lack of financial  or material resources and that it takes much more than donations and handouts to  solve the problem of poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile this book exposes past and current development  efforts that churches have engaged in which unintentionally undermine the people  they're trying to help, its central point is to provide proven strategies that challenge  Christians to help the poor empower themselves. Focusing on both North American  and Majority World contexts, \u003ci\u003eWhen Helping Hurts\u003c\/i\u003e catalyzes the idea that sustainable  change for people living in poverty comes not from the outside-in, but from the  inside-out.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108691034352,"sku":"9780802487629","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802487629_p0.jpg?v=1763726114","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802487629","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
