For the New Year, here are some great resources on justice and poverty.

We have MANY copies of a book called Walking with the Poor by Bryant Myers. This book reads like a graduate-level treatise on a Christian approach to engaging with teh poor. It's a great book, but it's not an easy read. If you want one, email Jen Paddock (jpaddock@belpres.org) and she will put one at the front desk for you!
