Empowerment: A Key Component of Christian Community Development

by Mary Nelson

The way we as Christians attempt to restore communities can be either harmful or helpful. The purpose of this book on Empowerment is to move us toward more effective involvement and empowerment with the poor. Leaders will learn to see our under-resourced communities and their residents through a new set of eyeglasses; focusing more on developing people's skills and capacities, rather than simply helping the poor live better lives. Empowerment is one of Eight Key Components of Christian Community Development, a Biblical approach to restoring under-resourced communities.

Excellent little book about empowering those we are trying to help, not just putting band aids on societal problems. Quick read. Good examples. Thought provoking.
