5.0 out of 5 stars Kretzmann and McKnight help us see through new eyes., March 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community's Assets (Paperback)
Building Communities from the Inside Out guides readers to a new, asset-based approach to community building that proves everyone has a gift to share. The book offers practical advice, helpful tools, and powerful stories that help us see communities in new ways--as treasure troves of talent. Kretzmann and McKnight's front-line experience working with neighborhoods across America has created a vital tool for transforming city blocks into neighborhoods and isolated residents into change agents. For anyone who longs to make a difference, this book is a MUST! I am a partner in a consulting firm that guides healthy community initiatives across America--this book is one of my most valued resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary new paradigm for community development, October 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community's Assets (Paperback)
Graphics a little clunky. Besides that, this is an outstanding book, with outstanding success stories and ideas, on building local "capacity" to handle projects. Everyone in the field, in my area, is excited about the ideas in this book. The authors are even better in person. You cannot understand the field without the ideas in this book.

This review is from: Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community's Assets (Paperback)
Asset-based analysis of communities can be used in working to fortify a variety of underfunctioning or dysfunctional environments. This approach to community building can also be applied to families, businesses, and government. The information is practical and well-organized for optimal understanding and use.
