Church Leadership & Ministry
“A Heart for the City is a harvesting of the richest insights of some of the nation's most-effective contemporary urban ministry practitioners. Writing from hard-learned personal experience, these frontline veterans share important truths that are foundational for any who would venture into the urban frontier.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Two cutting-edge urban ministry veterans, John Fuder and Noel Castellanos, have assembled some of the best practitioners in the nation to share fresh insights into the rapidly changing urban landscape. With cities gentrifying and poverty suburbanizing, the definitions and practices of urban ministry are changing. A Heart for the Community is right on time.”
Evangelism & Missions
“At last, a scholarly work that lays bare the realities of the mission trip industry—both the benefits and blemishes. Haynes leads us toward a much-needed foundation of mature theology to undergird this third wave of global missions. Excellent.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
““Crayons for the City is a practical, inspiring, insightful example of how a traditional church in a troubled urban neighborhood can become ‘re-neighbored’ and have a transformative impact on its community. Decades of creative, front-line urban ministry give Kevin Yoho the credibility to speak convincingly and correctively to the church in the city.”
How Neighborhoods Make Us Sick
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The time is right for an insightful, well-documented exposé of the pathology in poverty neighborhoods and a road map for the journey toward health and wholeness. How Neighborhoods Make Us Sick is just that. Turning troubled communities around is no small challenge, the authors admit. But there are practical steps that have proven to be effective. This is essential reading for anyone engaged in service among the poor.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“To rightly serve those in need is no small challenge. Helping can be unintentionally hurtful if done inappropriately. Samuel Wells and Marcia Owen offer a clear, carefully conceived road map into the sometimes confusing environment of crosscultural interpersonal relationships. Living Without Enemies is an excellent practical guide for forging redemptive relationships.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“No one understands better how to transform neglected communities than John Perkins and Wayne Gordon. They and the cadre of frontline practitioners that has joined them in writing this concise and practical book represent fresh and effective methodology on the fundamentals of contemporary community development.”
“Knowing, as I do, that men are often cast as warriors at heart, it is wonderfully refreshing to read the male-affirming reflections of highly respected women. With candor and sensitivity, Some Men Are Our Heroes brings gender equality back to its rightful place in the unfolding drama of the family of faith.”
