Social Concerns

“True godliness does not turn people out of the world, but enables them to live better in it, and excites their endeavors to mend it; not hide their candle under a bushel, but to set it upon a table in a candlestick.”

— William Penn, 1682

When Helping Hurts

When Helping Hurts

Alleviating Poverty Without Hurting The Poor. . .and Ourselves

BY STEVE CORBETT, BRIAN FIKKERT
A book that is causing a buzz in evangelical circles that looks at what it really means to "help" the underprivileged both for them and for us - the privileged. Scriptural, but also very practical and with many many insights for both individuals and institutions. Many examples are given and the book has links to a website offering continuing education and shared experience of the books authors and its readers.

Lies My Teacher Told Me

Lies My Teacher Told Me

Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

BY JAMES LOEWEN
After surveying 18 leading American history texts the author found not one made a good job of making history interesting or memorable. Marred by an embarrassing combination of blind patriotism, mindless optimism, sheer misinformation, and outright lies, these books omit almost all the ambiguity, passion, conflict, and drama from our past. In this revised edition, packed with updated material, Loewen explores how historical myths continue to be perpetuated in today's climate and adds an eye-opening chapter on the lies surrounding 9/11 and the Iraq War. Thought provoking, nonpartisan, and often shocking.
