{"product_id":"make-poverty-personal-ash-barker-9780801071898","title":"Make Poverty Personal: Taking the Poor as Seriously as the Bible Does","description":"Poverty is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. But poverty is not new. And neither is God's deep concern for the poor--it is a theme deeply woven throughout the Bible. Yet sadly, churches and individual Christians have too often been blind to this emphasis, or they have been paralyzed into inaction by feelings of helplessness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this urgent, provocative book, Ash Barker offers both challenge and hope. Pulling out and reflecting on significant passages from both testaments, he reveals what the Bible says about both the nature of poverty and about how God calls his people to respond. These studies, ideal for either individual or small group use, are interlaced with personal reflections--first-hand accounts from fifteen years of ministry among the poor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ash Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801071895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801071898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2008 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/09\/2009 pg. 11","brand":"Ash Barker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981226672383,"sku":"9780801071898","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3431a0c6-3cad-4a60-9844-6d40f373a62e.jpg?v=1683254352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/make-poverty-personal-ash-barker-9780801071898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
