Walking with low-income people

In the original “When Helping Hurts” book, Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert highlighted the ways that our giving can have unintended consequences by creating dependency, destroying self-esteem, and several other ways.

One of the unintended consequences of the book is many American churches and ministries went into ‘Neutral’ in their benevolence giving. In their latest books, “Helping without Hurting in Church Benevolence” and “When Helping Hurts, the Small Group Experience”, they make it clear that this broke their heart and they offered one important guiding principle, when in doubt about giving and/or helping error on the side of giving and/or helping.

“Helping without Hurting in Church Benevolence” is a great resource for you, your church, and your small group while walking with low-income people.
