We have a clear command from Scripture to take care of the poor within our circle of influence. This book presents the many principles found in Scripture to guide this process and even to qualify who the poor are. This book is multi-faceted and can be used by churches as a reference book to establish or improve their benevolent ministries and to help prevent being scammed; used by individuals to assess how they should address benevolent needs within their own family circle; and used by individuals and groups in the study of benevolence and financial counseling principles.
Rod O'Neil lives in Mount Washington, Kentucky with his wife, Karen. Rod has been actively involved in several churches over the years as a youth leader, Sunday School teacher, and Deacon. After living in the Washington, DC area for more than 20 years plus several years in England, traveling around the world and recently moving back to his home state of Kentucky he saw the same benevolent needs. As a business consultant and a former stock broker, he undertook a personal mission to compile his notes and experiences on biblical benevolence to better help the helpers and the hurting with the intent to turn receivers into givers.
