Toxic Charity – A Book Recommendation

Johnathan Todd      

Giving money away is easy. Giving money away wisely is difficult. One suggestion to encourage wisdom in giving decisions is to read the book Toxic Charity by Robert Lupton. Lupton has spent four decades ministering in the inner city of Atlanta and has seen firsthand how good intentions often have dire consequences. He offers insight and suggestions for charity to be given in a manner which encourages and builds instead of destroying.

Here at Grace Evan, the Grace Venture Strategy Committee works hard to investigate and steer our giving to be wise, not toxic. The committee has implemented a vetting process which seeks to capitalize on the wisdom gained from men like Robert Lupton. So know that as you follow the Grace Venture Lifestyle (Live More Simply, Give More Sacrificially, Accomplish the Great Commission), a group of your peers works hard to make sure our charitable giving is done wisely.
