Just Generosity: A New Vision for Overcoming Poverty in America

Just Generosity calls Christians to examine their priorities and their pocketbooks in the face of a scandalous tendency to overlook those among us who suffer while we live in practical opulence. This holistic approach to helping the poor goes far beyond donating clothes or money, envisioning a world in which faith-based groups work with businesses, the media, and the government to help end poverty in the world's richest nation. This updated edition includes current statistics, policy recommendations, and discussions covering everything from welfare reform, changes to Medicade, and the Social Security debate.

"Sider's most important book since Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger."--Jim Wallis, author, God's Politics

"Sider knows how to lift up people in need.... An] important and challenging book."--John Ashcroft, former Attorney General of the United States
