| Description: | "When Helping Hurts" offers a different framework for thinking about poverty and its alleviation. Rather than simply defining it as a lack of material things, the book addresses the roots of the issue: broken relationships with God, self, others, and the rest of creation. Join together as a class or small group to explore how to help the poor without hurting them. This is an ideal training resource for small groups, Sunday School classes, and parachurch and nonprofit ministries. It unpacks the basic principles of poverty alleviation in an accessible way. Each of the six lessons includes discussion questions, application exercises, and materials for further learning.Join the many ministries and churches that are already implementing these ideas, transforming their culture of poverty alleviation, and moving toward helping the poor without hurting them. Six sessions: 1. Reconsidering the Meaning of Poverty 2. Seeing God at Work 3. Understanding Why Good Intentions Are Not Enough 4. Joining God's Work 5. Fostering Change 6. Moving Forward Videos for each lesson are available by QR code within the book. Also available from Discovery Place: The full-length book upon which this small group study is based: "When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor…and Yourself."
