eBook – Bringing in the Sheaves: Transforming Poverty Into Productivity
The book was written by pastor George Grant, who devoted quite a bit of his personal time serving the poor through the church. It is full of practical ideas for how you can help your church serve the needy in your area.
This summary is taken from the book’s inside flap:
America’s war on poverty is a dismal failure. Federally funded welfare programs have become an incessant reminder that gross mismanagement, fiscal irresponsibility, misappropriated authority, and escalating calamity are the inevitable results of a society that attempts to solve complex human problems apart from the clear instruction of Scripture.
The Biblical mandate is to care for the poor, the oppressed, and the disenfranchised. The Biblical mandate is to take the salve of gospel love to the stranger, the hungry, and the misbegotten.
Rev. Grant knows the dismal failures and the Biblical solutions. He believes the Bible and the blueprint it offers can transform poverty into productivity. Bringing in the Sheaves is not just another book on poverty. It is a comprehensive and practical program designed for families, churches, and private enterprises to step in and do the hard work of securing social justice in our time.
The book is filled with detailed steps of action that can be immediately enacted without access to vast amounts of time, money, space, skills, or resources. In other words, Bringing in the Sheaves, unlike most other books on poverty, is not primarily theory. It is primarily practice. Biblical practice.
“He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who is gracious to the needy honors Him” (Proverbs 14:31, NASB).
