Finding True Worth in the Slums With over one billion people living in urban slums today, these communities are arguably one of the largest unreached demographics in the world. The challenge is great, as are the sacrifices of living there, yet the Lord can do much with a willing follower. So, what if choosing to live in a slum is a way to become closer to Jesus? Beyond Our Walls provides a unique window into what ministry in an urban slum setting can look like. The author shares the amazing story of God’s faithfulness in her life, as she follows Jesus into the slums of Jakarta, Indonesia, and still lives there twelve years later with her husband and two young sons. Not only have her Muslim neighbors had an opportunity to get to know a follower of Jesus, but the author herself has been forever changed by her experiences. Readers will be moved and challenged by this book. It provides an intriguing testimony that will appeal to those interested in Muslim/Chrisitan relations. And women already on the mission field will find it especially encouraging as the author reflects on the difficult aspects of mothering on the field and the faithfulness of Jesus through the hard years of parenting small children. While life in the slums is often hard, the joys are many as well.

In this groundbreaking exploration of the transformed labor landscape, "2025: Year of the Gig Economy" offers an unprecedented analysis of how independent work has fundamentally reshaped global employment patterns. Drawing on extensive research, industry data, and firsthand accounts from platform workers across diverse sectors, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the technological, economic, and social forces that converged to make 2025 the pivotal year when gig work transitioned from alternative arrangement to dominant paradigm across multiple industries. The book reveals how technological innovations—from sophisticated matching algorithms to AI-assisted work tools—have dramatically reduced transaction costs between talent and opportunity, creating unprecedented market efficiency while simultaneously raising critical questions about worker protection, algorithmic management, and the very definition of employment. Through detailed case studies spanning ride-sharing platforms, knowledge work marketplaces, creative services, healthcare delivery, and beyond, readers gain insight into both the remarkable opportunities and significant challenges characterizing this watershed moment in economic history. Beyond simply documenting current trends, "2025: Year of the Gig Economy" offers practical guidance for navigating this transformed landscape—whether you're an independent professional seeking sustainable success, an organization developing effective talent strategies, or a policymaker working to balance innovation with appropriate protections. The extensive appendices provide actionable resources including platform evaluations, contract templates, financial planning frameworks, and technology recommendations specifically designed for thriving in this new economic reality. Most importantly, this book challenges simplistic narratives about the gig economy, rejecting both utopian promises of universal entrepreneurial freedom and dystopian warnings of exploitative insecurity. Instead, it presents a nuanced analysis of how different arrangement structures serve various stakeholders, how hybrid models are emerging across traditional boundaries, and how thoughtful design across multiple dimensions can potentially create more optimal outcomes than either conventional employment or completely deregulated marketplaces. For anyone seeking to understand—and shape—the future of work, this book provides essential insight into the most significant economic transformation of our time.

This edited collection critically explores the funding arrangements governing contemporary community development and how they shape its theory and practice. International contributions from activists, practitioners and academics consider the evolution of funding in community development and how changes in policy and practice can be understood in relation to the politics of neoliberalism and contemporary efforts to build global democracy from the ‘bottom up’. Thematically, the collection explores matters such as popular democracy, the shifting contours of the state-market relationship, prospects for democratising the state, the feasibility of community autonomy, the effects of managerialism and hybrid modes of funding such as social finance. The collection is thus uniquely positioned to stimulate critical debate on both policy and practice within the broad field of community development.

Beyond Rust chronicles the rise, fall, and rebirth of metropolitan Pittsburgh, an industrial region that once formed the heart of the world's steel production and is now touted as a model for reviving other hard-hit cities of the Rust Belt. Writing in clear and engaging prose, historian and area native Allen Dieterich-Ward provides a new model for a truly metropolitan history that integrates the urban core with its regional hinterland of satellite cities, white-collar suburbs, mill towns, and rural mining areas. Pittsburgh reached its industrial heyday between 1880 and 1920, as vertically integrated industrial corporations forged a regional community in the mountainous Upper Ohio River Valley. Over subsequent decades, metropolitan population growth slowed as mining and manufacturing employment declined. Faced with economic and environmental disaster in the 1930s, Pittsburgh's business elite and political leaders developed an ambitious program of pollution control and infrastructure development. The public-private partnership behind the "Pittsburgh Renaissance," as advocates called it, pursued nothing less than the selective erasure of the existing social and physical environment in favor of a modernist, functionally divided landscape: a goal that was widely copied by other aging cities and one that has important ramifications for the broader national story. Ultimately, the Renaissance vision of downtown skyscrapers, sleek suburban research campuses, and bucolic regional parks resulted in an uneven transformation that tore the urban fabric while leaving deindustrializing river valleys and impoverished coal towns isolated from areas of postwar growth. Beyond Rust is among the first books of its kind to continue past the collapse of American manufacturing in the 1980s by exploring the diverse ways residents of an iconic industrial region sought places for themselves within a new economic order.
