With all the attention on poverty, why are so many people still poor? What programs are most effective in helping the poor? Can an individual really make a difference? The Skeptic's Guide to Global Poverty answers some of the most basic questions about poverty and provides a framework for understanding it economically, socially, politically, and spiritually.

With quotes, facts, photos, charts, and illustrations, the book is an excellent tool for educating congregations, donors, students, constituents, and every citizen who wants to have a basic understanding of some of the most important issues facing the world.
