“If you hope to better the world, you had better read this book. With striking vulnerability, Peter Greer interweaves his own experiences with biblical truth to expose the dark side of doing good. As a professional ‘do-gooder’ in a city of do-gooders, I’m buying this book in bulk.”
“Peter’s stature as a Christian nonprofit leader makes his raw honesty about the struggles of service all the more compelling. By sharing how he has persevered through trials in marriage, friendship, leadership, and more, Peter has given us a book that will reach readers in all walks of life. I hope this book finds a home on individuals’ nightstands and in group studies alike.”
