Women Who Stand… And Read
Please hold the dates of February 16 & 23 and March 1 & 6 for our next book club. We will meet at the Towson Library again. We will be reading “When Helping Hurts” by Steve Corbet and Brian Fikkert. This is a great book that provides a solid biblical foundation for understanding the nature of poverty and its alleviation. The book then outlines several general principles for all poverty alleviation efforts including: the importance of distinguishing between relief, rehabilitation, and development; the difference between asset-based and needs-based strategies; and the advantages of participatory over blueprint approaches.
As before, we will share our discussion points with everyone so that even if you can’t make it to the book club group, you can still learn along with us.
