The Theology of the Hammer

The founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International, Millard Fuller, here shares his concept of ``hammer theology'' and his dream of eliminating poverty-ridden housing worldwide. Interweaving Christian scripture with his narrative, Fuller tells of the dramatic changes Habitat's hands-on ministry has effected in the lives both of the recipients of the organization's quality housing and of the volunteers who build it. He also writes autobiographically of his own spiritual journey, explaining how he came to start Habitat's phenomenal grassroots ministry. One is left, upon completing the book, with an almost mind-boggling sense of just how far-reaching, substantial and laudable Habitat has become. (May)
