The Invisible

What the church can do to find
and serve the least of these

by Arloa Sutter

(We don't typically include someone else's book on our web site, but we make an exception here because Dave provided major assistance to Arloa in planning and writing The Invisible. Also, it was after volunteering at Breakthrough Urban Ministries, the homeless shelter Arloa founded, that Neta felt inspired to write her House of Hope series of novels.)

The poor are always with you, you just can’t see them. They are the hungry. They are the thirsty. They are those within our own churches who would never acknowledge their need for clothing. How can we begin to serve the invisible in our midst?

In this powerful book, Arloa Sutter will give you vision. Through her own compelling stories and those of many others, she sensitively examines the hard issues of poverty through real-life examples, theological and philosophical models, and practical direction. With wisdom and first-hand knowledge from her own established ministry to the poor, Sutter will open your eyes to what is happening around your very own neighborhood.

Look and see the invisible like you've never seen them before. And then capture your own vision for helping those whom the world considers “the least of these,” but whom Jesus called his “brothers” (Matt. 25:40).
