NCLA Review - Results matter. Jesus didn’t say “I was hungry and you intended to feed me,” he said “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Actions done with the best of intentions don’t always lead to the hoped for results. This book is not about theology—it is about economics. It was written by an economist and a journalist. The authors address some difficult topics including immigration, family values, environment, minimum wage, education and poverty and talk about what works and what doesn’t. At this time and in this place, many social issues are addressed by government policies and we make our support or opposition to those policies known. It is up to Christians to decide what is right, and to support what will work. Rating: 4—JC ( )

Good Intentions suggests that it is possible to do good in economic
