Faith is a Verb is both an account of the author’s five years of volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, the non-profit home-builder, and a history of the organization, which Goodrich sees as a model institution founded on grassroots, Jeffersonian principles. The reader looks over his shoulder as Goodrich helps restore a burned-out drug den to its Victorian glory in Bridgeport, Connecticut; understands the yawning gap between the rich and poor as he straightens nails with an impoverished teenager in the Dominican Republic; senses the importance of volunteer work as he watches, while laying a stone foundation in Paraguay, the Twin Towers fall on 9/11. Goodrich traces Habitat’s history back to an unsung American hero, Clarence Jordan, who in the 1940’s founded a Christian community in south Georgia, Koinonia Farm, dedicated to social and economic justice. Millard Fuller, a millionaire businessman, arrived at Koinonia during a spiritual crisis in the early 1970’s, but under Jordan’s guidance realized he was a "money-holic," gave away his forture, and in 1976 founded Habitat for Humanity. Goodrich shows how Fuller's Southern Baptist, Friday-night-revival personality helped turn Habitat into the world’s largest non-governmental home-builder, his inspirational leadership greatly abetted by the support of former president Jimmy Carter. Even Carter couldn't prevent Fuller from being fired by Habitat, however, in early 2005 over allegations of ***ual harrassment, a crisis the author describes in a postscript written just as Habitat completed its 200,000th house.
