Resumen del Editor
In his four decades of urban ministry, Robert D. Lupton has experienced firsthand how our good intentions can have unintended, dire consequences. We fly off on mission trips to poverty-stricken villages, hearts full of pity and suitcases bulging with giveaways - trips that one Nicaraguan leader describes as effective only in "turning my people into beggars."
In Toxic Charity, Lupton urges individuals, churches, and organizations to step away from these spontaneous, often destructive acts of compassion and toward thoughtful paths to community development. He delivers proven strategies for moving from toxic charity to transformative charity.Proposing a powerful "Oath for Compassionate Service", Lupton offers all the tools and inspiration we need to develop healthy, community-driven programs that produce deep, measurable, and lasting change. Everyone who volunteers or donates to charity needs to wrestle with this book.

Eighteen years after the genocide that made Rwanda international news, yet left it all but abandoned by the West, the country has achieved a miraculous turnaround. Rising out of the complete devastation of a failed state, Rwanda has emerged on the world stage yet again - this time with a unique model for governance and economic development under the leadership of its strong and decisive president, Paul Kagame. Here, Patricia Crisafulli and Andrea Redmond look at Kagame’s leadership.

Turn on a cable news show or pick up any news magazine, and you get the impression that Christian America is on its last leg. The once dominant faith is now facing rapidly declining church attendance, waning political influence, and an abysmal public perception. More than 76% of Americans self-identify as Christians, but many today are ashamed to carry the label. While many Christians are bemoaning their faith’s decline, Gabe Lyons is optimistic that Christianity’s best days are yet to come.

Historia
Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

Historia
Since the dawn of the digital age, decision-making in finance, politics, health, and human services has undergone revolutionary change. Today, automated systems control which neighborhoods get policed, which families attain needed resources, and who is investigated for fraud. While we all live under this new regime of data, the most invasive and punitive systems are aimed at the poor. In Automating Inequality, Virginia Eubanks systematically investigates the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on poor and working-class people in America.

There's got to be more to church than this. People around the world are seeking a community that focuses more on others than on themselves. Yet most don't know where to start. Drawing from his own journey, Brandon Hatmaker reminds us that serving the least is not a trendy act of benevolence but a lifestyle of authentic community and spiritual transformation. In Barefoot Church, Brandon offers practical ideas for creating service-based, missional communities and explains how the organizational structure of a church can be created or restructured for mission in any context.

Many people today talk about justice, but are they living justly? They want to change the world, but are they being changed themselves? Eugene Cho has a confession: "I like to talk about changing the world but I don't really like to do what it takes." If this is true of the man who founded the One Day's Wages global antipoverty movement, then what must it take to act on one's ideals? Cho does not doubt the sincerity of those who want to change the world.

Despite the world's elation at the Arab Spring, shockingly little has changed politically in the Middle East; even frontliners Egypt and Tunisia continue to suffer repression, fixed elections, and bombings, while Syria descends into civil war. But in the midst of it all, a quieter revolution has begun to emerge, one that might ultimately do more to change the face of the region: Entrepreneurship.

It was difficult to hear some of these concepts, but understanding that there are better ways to approach outreach than the traditional way we have always done things has made this book a valuable resource.

We need to rethink our charity motives.
We seem to have things twisted around. We want to help others but be don't seem to help them in a way that makes them grow to a point of helping them take care of themselves. Toxic Charity focused on helping them to have dignity in lifting themselves up instead of always being dependent on others.

A thorough look into how we can help the poor in meaningful ways
I think we all intend to be helpful, when we help the poor. This book brings to light many ways in which our great intentions end up being damaging. It's definitely worth some thought, and possibly a re-listen or two, for the impact of this book to really sink in. I love that the author makes recommendations, instead of only pointing out weaknesses in our efforts to minister to the needy.
There was one problem I had with the book though. I imagine, since it's a reading of the paperback, that this would've been the case if I had read it instead of listening. There were several occurrences of subject-verb disagreement in this book. As a stickler for grammar, I caught myself pausing and relistening, noticing the disagreement. That kind of thing throws me off and makes it harder to focus on the message sometimes. It would just take a little tweaking to correct these occurrences. One in the final chapter was "...planned breaks, lunches, food, and discussion enhances the experience." Obviously it's a very small issue, but definitely something I noticed over the course of listening.
Anyway, I'm really thankful for the author's observations, suggestions, and heartfelt thought put into this book. It reminds me of When Helping Hurts, but hits home a little bit harder.

Human Services MUST.
If you could sum up Toxic Charity in three words, what would they be?
Informative, unapologetic, necessary.
What did you like best about this story?
Mr. Lupton says what needs to be said in regards to all that is working in a human services field. Not all of it is easy to hear but needs to be known. He has experience that only comes from the field no classroom. In a field that hates change his words are challenging and thought provoking.
Have you listened to any of Patrick Lawlor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Unknown.
Any additional comments?
If coming from a background of social work/ministry/missionary etc. you need this book! Don't be discouraged when you realize that change is necessary and may be fast approaching.

Changed Everything
This book has changed the way I view my ministry in Peru where I have traveled four consecutive years to serve - as a "vacationary." I can't wait for others on my mission team to join me in reading Toxic Charity so we can all engage in productive discussions about where to go from here in *developing* and truly partnering with our partner church in that area. This book is excellent and thought-provoking. Highly recommend.

Very informative and easy to listen to
The audiobook gave me great insight into what "charity" could turn into if an organization is not careful with their approach to being "helpful". Easy to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone who is starting a non-profit or who is thinking about starting one.
