Throughout history poverty has been largely unnecessary. And yet throughout history some of the earth's population have enjoyed an abundance of the goods available while others have suffered want of the most basic goods needed to sustain life. In this wide-ranging, challenging book, Dewi Hughes argues that poverty is rooted in the way human beings use and abuse power. The Scriptures remind us, as we do the work of the church, that who we are, what we say and what we do under God are inseparable-that the kingdom of God is not merely a matter of words, but of power.

The Wealth of Poverty: Bold New Book Illuminates ‘Hidden’ Strengths & Opportunities in the Culture of Poverty. While it may sound like an oxymoron, an illuminating and insightful new book proves that anyone really can find wealth in culture of poverty. ‘The Wealth of Poverty: Capitalizing the Opportunities of Poverty for the Kingdom of God’ is the work of Rev Dr. Tina Carter and Rev Dr. Mindy Johnson-Hicks – proving their point with clarity and fact. A unique collaboration, ‘The Wealth of Poverty’ uncovers the surprising wealth that can be found in poverty. By enlightening their readers and changing their mind-sets, the authors inspire everyone to develop strong relationships with those from different economic background so all may prosper collectively. Reviews for the book have been impressive. Rev. Adam Hamilton, Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, KS, comments, “Often the church’s efforts addressing poverty involve performing acts of service for or to the poor. These acts are sometimes motivated more by one’s own needs or self-interest than by a genuine concern for the poor. Tina Carter and Mindy Johnson-Hicks invite readers to take a different approach. In The Wealth of Poverty they invite readers to develop mutual relationships with persons of different economic groups and to foster a deeper understanding of the culture of poverty and the surprising wealth found there."

Jesus said, "The poor will always be with you." While this has proven true, Walter Brueggemann challenges systemic and structural ways poverty is reproduced by pointing beyond charity and benevolence to the power of neighborliness as poverty's antidotes.
