The Dispossessed
by George Grant
This book was published in 1986. While it’s an old book homelessness is more of an issue now than it was back then.
Are you concerned about the problem of homelessness in America? Do you want to make a difference but don’t know where to start? “Bringing in the Sheaves: Replacing Government Welfare with Biblical Charity” by George Grant is the book you need to read.
This thought-provoking book challenges readers to think critically about the problem of homelessness and how it can be addressed through biblical principles. Grant argues that government welfare programs and social engineering have failed to address the root causes of homelessness and often create dependency and a sense of entitlement. Instead, he proposes that Christians have a responsibility to care for the poor and dispossessed and that appropriate care can be implemented through biblical principles such as personal responsibility, voluntary charity, and community involvement.
“Bringing in the Sheaves” is divided into three parts, with the first part discussing the causes and effects of homelessness, the second part discussing false cures, and the third part discussing true hope offered by the Gospel. Throughout the book, Grant provides examples of individuals and organizations that have successfully addressed homelessness through biblical principles. He also provides practical advice for individuals and communities who want to get involved in addressing homelessness, including initiating food relief programs, job placement services, and counseling outreach for the needy.
This book is not just for Christians, but for anyone who is concerned about the problem of homelessness and wants to make a difference. It is a call to action for individuals and communities to get involved in addressing homelessness and to do so in a way that is effective and sustainable.
“Bringing in the Sheaves” is a well-researched and well-written book that is both informative and inspiring. It challenges readers to think outside the box and to consider new ways of addressing the problem of homelessness. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to make a difference in their community and in the lives of those who are less fortunate.
So, if you want to be part of the solution to the problem of homelessness, buy “Bringing in the Sheaves” today. It will change the way you think about charity and inspire you to take action.
