Book
Toxic charity : how churches and charities hurt those they help (and how to reverse it) / Robert D. Lupton.
The author describes how Americans' good intentions can have unintended consequences and urges individuals, churches, and organizations to move to a more thoughtful path of community development. Public service is a way of life for Americans; giving is a part of our national character. But compassionate instincts and generous spirits aren't enough, says veteran urban activist Robert D. Lupton.
The scandal -- The problem with good intentions -- The anatomy of giving -- Needs vs. relationships -- Beyond us-based giving -- No quick fixes -- Wise giving -- Take the oath -- Service with dignity -- Getting started.
