Poverty

“This book provides a wonderful, provocative theological framework for those of us who minister among our most vulnerable sisters and brothers. For anyone who regularly looks into the eyes of suffering, this book offers context, hope, and inspiration.” —Donna Markham OP, President and CEO, Catholic Charities USA
 
“This clear and penetrating collection points the reader to the way that Jesus took—straight to the poor. The authors challenge us to see, hear, and think differently about the meanings of poverty, and to love passionately those whom Jesus loved—the poor.” —Professor M. Shawn Copeland, author of Enfleshing Freedom: Body, Race, and Being
 
“As a good Franciscan, Ken Himes knows poverty from the inside and has taught well his student Conor Kelly. Here they draw together rich resources that call all of us to the poverty we need, and to resist needless poverty. Don’t read this without a pen or highlighter in your hand. And don’t read it by yourself. This is no armchair spirituality of poverty—this is congregational action plan material!” —Thomas H. Groome, author of What Makes Us Catholic, Sharing Faith, and many other books
