Inhaltsangabe
Has charity had its day? Does it simply create dependency? How does it relate to aid?
This book is written for anyone with an interest in the role of charity in the 21st century: those in the academic community, those who work in the charity world, those who give (and those who don't), Christians and non-Christians.
Based both on academic research and in-depth interviews with recipients of charity in a village in rural Uganda, it aims to invite readers to take another look at charity, clear away some of the myths and misunderstandings that have accumulated over time and re-discover its power to transform.

Críticas
Charity is a compromised word today. It conjures up images of Victorian piety and patronage. But this book redefines the virtue of Charity and testifies to its continuing power and relevance today. It demonstrates both theoretically and practically how well-being increases when ordinary people love ordinary people. I warmly commend it. --The Venerable David Meara Archdeacon of London
This lively volume re-instates charity as one of the great defining actions of faith. The authors draw clear and helpful distinctions between charity and its near but different neighbours - aid, philanthropy and altruism - and demonstrate in lived examples the transforming effect of genuine charity. This is an unusual and heartening story and one which deserves careful reflection and enjoyment. --Rt Revd John Pritchard
Is there any think we need more than love -- acting, thinking, and being about love? Lightbown and Fane invite us to reflect deeply and act boldly to promote well-being. In doing so, we express charity and thereby contribute to the loving reign of God in the world. --Dr. Thomas Jay Oord
