Summary:

Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger shook up my InterVarsity chapter, when a member of the graduate chapter led a study with us undergrads.

I highly recommend this book with a warning: be prepared to get chastised for your lifestyle. That isn’t fun, but it is good, and if you’re like me, it’s much needed.

This book is no flash in the pan; it has been around for twenty years, and has been revised to include the latest statistics and developments. Sider is not the most popular thinker in Evangelical circles. Sometimes he’s been called a socialist by pastors who don’t believe in the responsibility of the church to help the poor.

If you read this book, however, you’ll see such accusations as nearly irrelevant next to the depth of this man’s love for the lost, and willingness to follow his own standards.
