Until the end of this month, you can get a FREE audio copy (.mp3, .m4b) of When Helping Hurts: Alleviating Poverty Without Hurting the Poor. . .and Yourself by economists Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert (of Covenant Theological Seminary) from Christianaudio.com. Every month they give away a free audiobook and this is the one for the month of February. Over the past couple of years, I have been able to get books by John Piper, Jerry Bridges, Mark Driscoll, R.C. Sproul, Matt Chandler, and many others, all for free in audio format.

Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel.
