An updated compilation of 15 years of ECHO's quarterly technical bulletin, ECHO Development Notes in book form! This is an excellent handbook for people working with small farmers or urban gardeners in Third World settings. Here you will find new ideas, techniques, underutilized tropical plants, and offers of trial packets of seed to evaluate them. It is primarily a resource for missionaries and agricultural workers as they evaluate new ways to help produce food and make a living in the tropics.

An excellent primer on some of the fundamental issues in microfiance today.  One of the best summaries we have found.

This book provides the background for why we do what we do, the philosophy of our work and what we mean by transformation.  Strongly recommended if you want to understand holistic development from a Christian perspective.

This is the classic that woke many of us up to God's call to serve the poor.  Written over 20 years ago by Floresta Advisory Board member Ron Sider, it had a profound effect on us and has been updated in this edition.
