Influential social justice leader and president of HOPE International reveals how "doing good" can be spiritually disastrous--and how to prevent it from corroding our hearts.
A Powerful Warning for All Interested in Charity and Christian Service
What happens when Christian ministry and social justice lead to burnout, pride, or worse? Peter Greer knows firsthand how this can happen. Using stories from his own life and the lives of others in ministry, Greer shows everyone from CEOs to weekend volunteers how to protect themselves from the unseen hazards of doing good works and how to keep the flame of passionate ministry burning brightly. Includes end-of-chapter questions for personal reflection or group discussion.
