Summer Reads Series 2024 — Book 2 — September 15: Poverty, By America by Matthew Desmond.

Our third book this season is a secular offering that raises profound theological questions. Pulitzer Prize winning author and professor of Sociology Matthew Desmond examines the reasons why the United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Join us as we explore what it means to be a “poverty abolitionist,” and how we connect that identity to the Gospel call to share resources equitably and care for one another.
