Encouraging and practical,
By
This review is from: A Heart For the City: Effective Ministries to the Urban Community (Hardcover)
This is a great book. It's encouraging because it gives you a chance to find out about some of the dynamic ministry that is going on in cities today, and it is practical because the authors are doing it day in and day out. Each chapter deals with a different issue related to urban ministry. The chapters are written by a whole host of contributors from "big name" Christian ministers, to the faithful, but relatively unknown who are just slogging away in the trenches to bring the gospel to the inner city. Interested in urban ministry? This is for you.
