Myers, Bryant L.

Working with the Poor New insights and learnings from Development Practitioners World Vision - U.S.A. World Vision 1999 - 164tr. Paperback 15 x 23.50 cm

The authors of essays in this book addresses the Western assumption that the physical and spritiaul realms are separate and distinct from one another. Such a dichotomy leads to a belief amont practioners that restoring people`s relationship with God has nothing to do with restoring just political, social and economic relationships among people. Thus, these practitioners reflect on: Understanding poverty, participatory learning and action, appreciateive inquiry, the Bible and transformational development, sustainable economic development, community transformation in the urban context, community development and peacebuilding.
