When Helping Hurts
Author: Steve Corbett
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802487629
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
With more than 450,000 copies in print, When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation. Poverty is much more than simply a lack of material resources, and it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve it. When Helping Hurts shows how some alleviation efforts, failing to consider the complexities of poverty, have actually (and unintentionally) done more harm than good. But it looks ahead. It encourages us to see the dignity in everyone, to empower the materially poor, and to know that we are all uniquely needy—and that God in the gospel is reconciling all things to himself. Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, When Helping Hurts provides proven strategies for effective poverty alleviation, catalyzing the idea that sustainable change comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out.

Believers and Hustlers
Author: Sylva Nze Ifedigbo
Publisher: Griots Lounge
ISBN: 9781777688486
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Lagos megachurch Pastor, Nicholas Adejuwon is a very ambitious man desperate to erase a past that has scarred his mind. His beautiful wife Nkechi has reasons to secretly snoop on him following a series of indiscretions that threaten their marriage and superstardom. When Nkechi uncovers some scandalous secretes, she turns to Ifenna, a young journalist turned blogger who has history with her husband, to make them public, changing her reality as she knew it in the process. Believers and Hustlers is an exposé into the underbelly of Nigeria's Pentecostal fervor and the lives of rich celebrity posterity preachers, their motivations, rivalries, pretenses and fears. This bold novel tells an important story about our times - the quest for power, the fears that trigger it, the hypocrisy that sustains it, and the ways in which religion can be weaponized to shroud it all in a mystery. At its core however, it's a story of life, of love, power, and the ironies that fate often deals us at the end of our desperate quests. "In this page turner, Sylva Nze Ifedigbo writes with so much mastery, lucidity and truth, it felt like he was holding up a mirror, daring the reader to look and see themselves. Believers and Hustlers, might be a bitter pill for some to swallow, but what is it they say about the truth?" - Michael Afenfia, author of Leave My Bones in Saskatoon "Sylva Nze Ifedigbo can stand on the same podium as masters like Gurcharan Das. What makes his writing plain and unique at the same time, is the elegance of his prose. He writes with such clarity, that one does not need to be told that he is one of the best storytellers of his generation." - Onyeka Nwelue, author of The Strangers of Braamfontein "Ifedigbo's engaging and deeply affecting novel undertakes a "forensic audit" of the church...he is a brutal writer who writes lines dripping with blood but devoid of bile. The quest for truth seems to be his main goal. He has captured a slice of life that many Africans are familiar with and also succeeds in giving us unforgettable characters in Pastor Nick and Nkechi." - Olukorede Yishau, author of Vaults of Secrets Sylva Nze Ifedigbo writes fiction, creative non-fiction and socio-political commentaries. He is the author of the acclaimed novel My Mind Is No Longer Here (2018), a collection of stories The Funeral Did Not End (2012) and a novella Whispering Aloud (2007). His short stories have appeared in various publications including Prick of the Spindle, African Writer, Maple Tree Literary Supplement, Saraba, Kalahari Review, Brittle Paper, AFREADA and Thrice Fiction Magazine. Sylva holds that stories matter and that our very existence is a collection of stories. Being able to tell them beautifully he believes is the most powerful way to impact the world. He lives in Lagos, Nigeria.

Book Description
A New York city neighborhood once called “the beginning of the end of civilization” is where Michael Gecan starts. Hired by residents to help them save their community, he and local leaders spend more than a decade wrestling New York politicians in an impassioned effort against all odds that brings in five thousand new homes. From bad behavior by Ed Koch to complicated negotiations with Rudy Giuliani, Gecan tells the inside story of how the city really works, and how any organized group of citizens can wield power in seemingly unmovable bureaucracies. Gecan’s unwavering vision of the value of public action has roots in a rough childhood in Chicago, where he witnessed extortion by the mob and a tragic fire in his Catholic grade school that left ninety-two children and three nuns dead. In his inspiring story of the will to claim the full benefits of citizenship, Gecan offers unforgettable lessons that every American should know: What is the best way to talk to politicians? What resources do all communities need to create change? What kinds of public actions really work?
