In this fresh and biblical look at poverty in America, Joe Ader confronts us with two basic questions: 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 these questions (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: • 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 out of the spiritual ghetto we all share while transforming our understanding of poverty and how to fight it • 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 • What every Christian needs to understand about poverty in America
