| (Re)Discovering Charity
(Re)Discovering Charity is written in three parts and begins with an exploration into what may be meant by Christian charity. A reflection on the Parable of the Samaritan follows - the parable is reproduced alongside a modern equivalent, and true, story. Finally sixteen stories are told by beneficiaries of Christian charity. Their stories testify to its transformational power.
Endorsing (Re)Discovering Charity the Right Reverend John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford, wrote: 'This lively volume re-instates charity as one of the great defining actions of faith. The authors draw clear and helpful distinctions between charity and its near but different neighbours - aid, philanthropy and altruism - and demonstrate in lived examples the transforming effect of genuine charity. This is an unusual and heartening story and one which deserves careful reflection and enjoyment.'
