Jesus on Main Street

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I’ve been longing for and dreaming about a book like this. In the world of community development, especially in the church, most books simply provide stories and a limited on-the-ground view. While these are essential, what has been missing is something with more academic punch. Something that moves beyond inspirational stories to the kind of book that I can use in my community-development classroom and share with church leaders that I work with on a daily basis. David Kresta’s Jesus on Main Street is an incredible resource that is not only replete with academic vigor but is also a tool that will assist and inform pastors, church leaders, and community-development practitioners.”
