This important new study considers the reality of the church's involvement to offer compelling and concrete recommendations for the future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It proposes a transformational model of welfare that breaks free from the default approach of 'eradicating the five giant evils - squalor, ignorance, want, idleness, and disease'. Instead the authors focus on fostering five assets - relationship, creativity, partnership, compassion, and joy - and empowering people to regain control of their lives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With bold and innovative practical recommendations for churches, civil society and public policy, and compelling theological reflection on welfare and poverty, this is essential reading for anyone interested in the church's contribution to society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 06, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52747702927667,"sku":"9781786220233","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Skdod1pGRkNsc0hVZTk4dXEzMThQUT09.webp?v=1764227083","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/for-good-the-church-and-the-future-of-welfare-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
