Review

"...a great guide for individuals and groups who want to become involved but lack the tools." -- The Honorable Jack Kemp, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

"Jonathan Reckford has captured stories and experiences that tell the true meaning of 'love thy neighbor as thyself.'..." -- Janet Huckabee, First Lady of Arkansas and coordinator for Governor's Wives Women Build Program

Product Description

Intended primarily for use in congregations and by general readers who are interested in the issue of affordable housing and homelessness, Reckford tells the story of how Habitat has touched the lives of people around the world and is transforming not only those receiving housing but those who participate as builders.

The final chapter helps individuals and groups take a "justice, mercy, and humility" self-check and lays out a list of action suggestions. Includes an online small group Leader's Guide and participant Study Guide.
