A compelling follow-up to When Helping Hurts, focusing on church-centered microfinance to alleviate poverty. Drawing from fifteen years of research at the Chalmers Center, the book blends theology, social science, and practical strategies to empower the poor while avoiding dependency. Its multidisciplinary approach, exploring the Trinity alongside financial systems, is both innovative and challenging. The text provides actionable models—Provider, Partnership, and Promotion—supported by key principles and application exercises. While accessible to non-experts, its depth may stretch readers unfamiliar with finance or theology. With a foreword by Rick Warren and a wealth of resources, this guide is a vital resource for churches aiming to restore dignity through sustainable ministry. Highly recommended for those passionate about holistic poverty alleviation.
