Christianity Today recently ran an article called Cost Effective Compassion on the 10 most popular ways to help the poor and what the research shows the long term effects on each of those methods to be. So if you’re into fair trade coffee, have a passion for clean water, or are thinking about sponsoring a child … or if you’re skeptical about all of it, this is a great read!
Also, this month only the audio version of When Helping Hurts by Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett is FREE! (It will first show up as $4.98, but if you click on the book it will show you that it’s actually the free download this month.) This book is becoming a contemporary classic on alleviating poverty. If audio books aren’t your thing you can always get the book version of When Helping Hurts
