Revue de presse

I had the sense of being thrust behind the scenes, into a world which traditional textbooks hint is there but never reveal in concrete detail. This book is full of astute observations about the community level dynamics that are decisive in determining how well-or poorly-individuals and families in need will be treated. The voice of the authors is refreshingly direct, frank, and candid. As a student of local social service systems, I found the perspective advanced in the book to be right on target in comparison to what I have witnessed in other locales." - Dave Campbell, University of California Davis

Such an account of how an organization is born and matures over time, all the messiness and personalities involved, is unheard of. The being from but not of the church, and the case study of societal racism, are invaluable. It will be a marvelous text for organization classes." - Diana Garland, Baylor University
