About this audiobook

Do you want to make a true difference in the world? Dr. Ron Sider does. He has, since before he first published Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger in 1978. Despite a dramatic reduction in world hunger since then, 34,000 children still die daily of starvation and preventable disease, and 1.3 billion people, worldwide, remain in abject poverty. So, the professor of theology went back to re-examine the issues by twenty-first century standards. Finding that Conservatives blame morally reprehensible individual choices, and Liberals blame constrictive social and economic policy, Dr. Sider finds himself agreeing with both sides. In this new look at an age-old problem, he offers not only a detailed explanation of the causes, but also a comprehensive series of practical solutions, in the hopes that Christians like him will choose to make a difference.

    This book does well in that it challenges Christians of today to live and love as Christ did. I was however looking for a more complete definition of poverty, which this book seems to suggest is only the lack of materialistic goods. Every culture defines poverty in different terms. I hoped this book would incorporate some solutions to it, other than throwing money at it. All in all, it was insightful. Many of its content was extremely practical and seems to be written in good will. I would recommend this book to those who wish to explore what Christian ethics should look like as it relates to wealth and prosperity.
