Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road
By: Dr. Tim Keller
This book builds a biblical foundation for works of service to the church and to the world at large. Some lay blame for poverty and need on oppression; others on laziness. Pastor Keller demonstrates that the biblical viewpoint is far more sophisticated than either extreme. He sets forth scriptural principles for mercy ministries, suggests practical steps to begin and persevere in active caring, and deals perceptively with thorny issues. Balanced and informative! Includes discussion questions.
