We are interdependent both materially and spiritually and are diminished by the extent to which we do not flourish together.</p><p>In <em>Building the Good Life for All</em>, L. Shannon Jung explores four strategies for mutual flourishing: charity, self-help, cultural value formation, and government action. Rather than theorizing on the causes of people's poverty, the chapters demonstrate how these transformational strategies work and how others can participate in them. Discussion questions with each chapter help groups process what they are learning and how they can apply these strategies personally and in their community.</p><p>Designed to be read and discussed in seven sessions, this book encourages the social ministry of churches and the community development of neighborhoods. Churches and community groups will find themselves revitalized through this study and through enacting its strategies to help their neighbors.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Building the Good Life for All</em> offers us a fresh look at the issues, then provides step-by-step actions. A church might even well change a struggling neighborhood to a flourishing one if thy explore these new possibilities."</p> <p/>--Christian Ethics Today</em></p> <p/><br>
