      RECOMMENDED BOOKS  

Churches That Make a Difference
 
by Ronald J. Sider, Philip N. Olson and Heidi Rolland Unruh (Baker Books, 2002)
 
Resource Type:  Book
 
Main Audience: Church leaders who want to begin holistic ministry in their church
 
 
Summary:
 
Churches that Make a Difference is a thorough handbook for churches that want to embrace holistic ministry in their congregations. Historically, America has expected social work to be secular, objective, and separated from the world of faith communities and congregations. However, government and public agencies are not solving the problem of poverty. Sider, Olson, and Unruh introduce their book with some amazing results that faith-based groups are having in some of America’s poorest and toughest neighborhoods.
 
The authors then proceed to guide readers to participate in this exciting time for Christianity by embracing holistic ministry in their own congregations. This book covers both the practical and theological sides of the issues and provides clear, biblical and balanced advice. Congregations of all denominations, situations and styles will find help here. Leaders reading the book will find helpful counsel for both their congregational and their personal spiritual lives as well.
