Reviews

[Teri]

This book is compelling. It tells the story of a suburban family in Fresno, California, who intentionally moved to the inner city for ministry purposes. The author explains the significance of the city, in our world and from a Biblical perspective - and then shares what good things have happened during their time of residence. Appendix offers a list of ways to care for my own city.

[Leah St.]

Quite relevant to my life and love his humility, honesty and insight. Quotable gems of wisdom and truth throughout and overall a great reminder of a compelling vision.
