Catalyst: "Creating a Habitat for Humanity: No Hands but Yours" from Augsburg Fortress, by Jonathan T. M. Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity; foreword by Jimmy Carter; 112 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $10
[Source: Augsburg Fortress] Intended primarily for use in congregations and by general readers who are interested in the issue of affordable housing and homelessness, Reckford tells the story of how Habitat has touched the lives of people around the world and is transforming not only those receiving housing but those who participate as builders.
The final chapter helps individuals and groups take a "justice, mercy, and humility" self-check and lays out a list of action suggestions. This volume includes an online small group Leader's Guide. Visit the http://www.creatingahabitat.org web site for access to the participant Study Guide.
"Reckford's account of Habitat for Humanity's contribution to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals is truly inspiring. The book should stir civil society organizations to scale up their efforts and hold Governments accountable to meet their commitment to achieve the Millennium Goals. The Right to Shelter along with the other Millennium Goals are indeed basic human rights." -- Salil Shetty, director, United Nations Millennium Campaign
