Subject: "In Hope Rising, Scott Todd of Compassion International pens a galvanizing, insightful account of the movement that is eradicating extreme global poverty through transformative Christian generosity. Scott provides riveting evidence to show that we are much closer to that goal than you might think. According to Todd, we live in a historic moment, and chances are you are already part of it. Twenty-first-century Christians are living out their faith by generating multi-continent grassroots movements for the poor. Public and private sectors are working together. It's a new era of philanthropy, compassion, and justice working together to eradicate the pandemic of extreme global poverty."--Back cover.
