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.

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.
