Signed and inscribed by the author with thin blue pen on the half-title page "One of the top 100 religious books of the century." - Christianity Today "When Ron Sider's Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger first appeared. it shook readers to the core. Informed about the issues of world hunger and poverty, they could no longer ignore the plight of their global neighbors. This thoroughly revised edition of Sider's best-selling book outlines the progress that has been made in the last three decades - and the work that is still left to do. Every day 30,000 children still die of starvation and preventable diseases, and 1.2 billion people live in relentless, unrelieved poverty worldwide. Why is there still so much poverty? Conservatives blame sinful individual choices and laziness. Liberals condemn economic and social structures. Who is right? Who is wrong? Both, according to Sider, who explains poverty's complex causes in this new edition and offers concrete, practical proposals for change." - from the rear cover "Loving Jesus means following Jesus, and following Jesus means caring for the under-resourced. Ron Sider issued a wake-up call . and it is still required reading. This material will be on the final." - John Ortberg, Teaching Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church "We must look beyond ourselves to the world God so loves, and especially to the poor and marginalized. Ron Sider has been a strong influence on my thinking in this direction, and this new Rich Christians edition will, I hope, extend and deepen his good influence." - Brian McLaren, Author of A New Kind of Christian "Ron Sider has given us a Kingdom challenge to live and love sacrificially and to give and serve generously amidst cultural voices of materialism and personal wealth. This book is strength to anyone who finds themselves wrestling with the how and why of being a good steward of earthly treasures. " - Dan Haseltine. "Ron Sider is one of the most penetrating and relevant Christian thinkers of our age." - Millard Fuller, Founder, Habitat for Humanity International. "The most pivotal book in my Christian journey." - Robert A. Seiple, former President, World Vision. About the Author: Ronald J. Sider, PhD. ale, is professor of theology at Eastern University.
