Summary: Like the wounded man on the Jericho road, there are needy people in our
path—the widow next door, the family strapped with medical bills, the homeless man outside our place of worship. God calls us to be ministers of mercy to people in need of shelter, assistance, medical care, or just friendship.
Timothy Keller demonstrates that caring for needy people is the job of every believer—not just church deacons—and is as fundamental to Christian living as evangelism, nurture, and worship. But Keller does not stop there. He shows how we can carry out this vital ministry as individuals, families, and churches. Along the way, he deals perceptively with many thorny issues, such as the costs of meeting needs versus the limits of time and resources, giving material aid versus teaching responsibility, and meeting needs within the church versus those outside.
