A Faithful Public-Prophetic Witness

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Barry acquired his wisdom as a sage by walking among the humble on the notorious east side of Vancouver for decades. Those of us who know his work here hold him in the highest esteem. In this important book he enlarges our understanding with case studies from the world beyond Vancouver. This is the book I have been waiting for.”

Hope in Addiction

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“I love this book because it marries the logic of the social sciences and the devotion of Christian spirituality into a compassionate intellectuality that is powerful enough to confront our terrifying addiction problems. I think that both Christians and nonbelievers, like myself, will take it to heart.”

Hopeful Realism in Urban Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In this fine book, Morris shares the scholarly thinking that underlies his inspiring work as an urban minister in my neighborhood in East Vancouver. This is a book to read.”
