A Heart for the City

Church Leadership & Ministry

“There are powerful word images in these pages you may not have heard from evangelicals in a while--Christian community development; a gospel that is both vertical and horizontal; a foreign mission field on our urban doorstep; wholistic ministry. Other word pictures will be more familiar and less frightening--Jewish evangelism; ministry in the jails and to urban youth. May God bless the reader as he discovers and rediscovers the challenge behind all these words and through grace transforms image into reality, word into deed.”

Bridges to Islam

World Religions

“When God is hidden in a mountain of Muslim laws, the heart breaks through to look for him in other ways. Can those 'breakouts' become 'breakthroughts'? Phil Parhall says yes, and, against the reality of actual experiments, seeks to show us how. Let us all learn from his trials and our errors.”

Christ Outside the Gate

Evangelism & Missions

“You have in your hands a new way of seeing missions--North America as a receiving country, the marginalized as the subject as well as object of missions, world evangelization with one foot in Melbourne and one foot in Pattaya. Few authors blend together so effectively so many worlds--evangelism and scholarship, northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere, sociology, and theology.”

God So Loves the City

Evangelism & Missions

“Will leave new avenues to consider, a new agenda to be shaped out of the questions it poses and the answers it provides.”
