'This book offers a critical but constructive analysis of the intersection between the 'good work' of development initiatives and the specifically mission work of Christians and Christian churches. Using both historical and contemporary case studies, from a range of perspectives, the book gives a thoughtful, insightful and appreciative assessment of this intersection, and especially of the contribution of Christians and Christian churches and mission organizations. 'Secular' development is waking up to the longstanding and contemporary involvement of Christians in development initiatives, and this book is thus a timely and down-to-earth reflection.'
