Apostle of the Poor: The Life and Work of Missionary and Humanitarian Charles D. Neff
by Matthew Bolton

From humble beginnings as a Midwestern American farmboy, Charles D. Neff went on to participate in the fundamental transformation of the Community of Christ, from a small provincial sect centered in the Midwestern plains, to a worldwide church spanning over 50 nations.

His missionary work in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, India, Nigeria, Liberia, and Kenya challenged him to rethink the church’s theology — opening it to the voices of other cultures — and confronted him with the horrific realities of massive poverty.

Deeply affected by the terrible conditions he saw in the developing world, he founded several humanitarian organizations, including Outreach International, and dedicated his life to bringing relief, release and dignity to the world’s poor.
This apostle was not merely an important church leader, he was an indefatigable humanitarian and campaigner for world peace... I was "blown away" by the work.

— Jan Shipps, author of Sojourner in the Promised Land
