A compelling call to carry God's mercy and compassion to the hurting people of this world This eminently practical book by two leading experts in the field of poverty reduction offers a clear plan to help ordinary Christians translate their compassion into thoughtful action. Authors Peter Greer and Phil Smith draw on their personal experiences to provide proven solutions for effectively reducing poverty. With photographs by Jeremy Cowart included throughout, The Poor Will Be Glad examines the pitfalls of traditional approaches and outlines a new model of economic development aimed at breaking the cycle of dependency. Through microfinance and employment-based solutions, people who share God's heart for the poor can reorient their efforts from giving handouts to offering a hand up, helping others provide for their families and regain their dignity. This book provides straightforward guidance for individuals and groups eager to carry God's justice, mercy, and compassion to the hurting people in our world.

First, looks at how we in the west can simplify and take Jesus' call more seriously.
Then a large part of the book is about the new models of helping people fish, rather than giving them a fish. Microfinance through Savings & Credit Associations (SCAs) and MFIs.
Gives some details about several I hadn't yet heard about.
One thought was to try to live once a month on a dollar a day, like the poorest of the poor.
Yes! This is all good.
