Publisher's Synopsis
In this important contribution, Dr. Stephen Yashim reviews the participatory, problem-solving approaches commonly utilized by Christian relief and development organizations in Nigeria. In order for rural communities to progressively experience biblical shalom, they must be equipped to examine and articulate their own perspective on development while also engaging with biblical perspectives. This is an excellent resource for anyone engaged in community development and transformation, and who longs to experience biblical shalom poured out among individuals and communities.
