      I'm not sure how I feel on Dr. Sachs views on Christianity (I'd have to know/read more before I can form an opinion), but other than that it was a great book. It was eye opening in that it helped me see certain things from a bigger (global) picture. It was published in 2005, so I kept that in mind when reading (things change), but I just bought his new book "Common Wealth" which was published this year (2008), and after I finish it I hope that I will feel 'caught up' with things, and then stay that way.

Book Description

Marrying vivid eyewitness storytelling with concrete analysis, Jeffrey Sachs provides a conceptual map of the world economy and the different categories into which countries fall, explaining why wealth and poverty have diverged and evolved as they have and why the poorest nations have been so markedly unable to escape the cruel vortex of poverty. Sachs plunges into the messy realities of economies, leading his readers through his work in Bolivia, Poland, Russia, India, China, and Africa, and concludes with an integrated set of solutions to the tangled economic, political, environmental, and social issues that most frequently hold societies back.
