Creating A Habitat For Humanity: No Hands But Yours Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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. It includes an online small group Leader's Guide and participant Study Guide.

Very well-written synopsis of Habitat for Humanity with powerful Biblical tie-ins to Habitat's work. Would be particularly useful for a faith community class, e.g., Sunday School class.
I found the book disappointing and pretentious.
It's all nice to build houses for people who don't have them, but it seems to be suggesting let's just ignore all our religious beliefs and work together. We can work together to build houses and do good for the world, but don't water down what you believe just because it offends someone else.
