Book excerpt: In this fresh and biblical look at poverty in America, Joe Ader confronts us with a basic question: How did mankind start out in a garden that was perfect in every way and end up in the worldwide ghetto that we know as poverty? And how do we find our way out? To answer this question (and many more) the author takes us on a personal journey of discovery, introducing us to the residents of Middle Classburg, America and Povertyville, USA (which town do you call home?). Along the way, he challenges us to see poverty differently as he explains:¿How President Lyndon Johnson committed America to a War on Poverty at a time the United States Government had never defined "poverty"¿How an obscure government analyst named Mollie Orshansky became "The Mother Of Poverty" in America¿Why currently accepted definitions and explanations of poverty are fatally flawed¿Why poverty is about more than our economic status; it's about our relationship with God¿How the gospel brings us all out of the spiritual ghetto we all share while transforming our understanding of poverty and how to fight it¿How Jesus didn't come to make poor people into middle class people, but to make all people God's people¿How "The Iron Rule" needs to work alongside "The Golden Rule"¿How a handful of practical tools can help pastors, Christian workers and all of us better serve those struggling in the grip of generational poverty¿And these are just a few of the reasons why every Christian in America needs to read this book.
