Cup of Water, Bread of Life: Inspiring Stories About Overcoming Lopsided Christianity
 
by Ronald J. Sider (Zondervan, 1994)
 
Resource Type: Stories of excellent holistic Christian ministries from around the world
 
Main Audience: Anyone involved or interested in holistic ministry
 
 
Summary:
 
In this book, well-known evangelical author Ron Sider tells ten stories of Christian ministries that are answering the call of God to reach the poor and oppressed. Sider introduces this book as the real-life examples of his theological argument for ministries to balance evangelism with social action, moving away from “lop-sided Christianity” toward holistic ministry.
 
Each story revolves around a central individual or leader that has been particularly influential in the ministry’s success, and Sider shares these leader’s personal stories as well as the history of the ministries. He tells of the failures, triumphs, challenges, and tragedies. The stories come from all over the globe, giving readers motivation, inspiration, and practical ideas for their own ministries.
