[Jenni · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you are interested in what the Bible has to say about loving and serving those in need, this book is amazing. I really appreciated coming to know God's character more from this collection of Scriptures.

This companion book could have used a lot more organization and/or guidance in how it relates to "Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger." But I am finding it moderately helpful/interesting as an aid in teaching the young adult Sunday school class - even if it difficult to sort through.

This book touched my heart in a profound way! I know that as Christians we have a responsibility to care for the poor, but I didn't realize just how big of a role we are to play. This book has motivated me to take on a number of ongoing projects to help those less fortunate.
