Summary:
Across America, congregations are getting involved in their local communities and making significant differences, affecting change for the kingdom of God. Nile Harper introduces this book by listing the “vital signs” that these churches have in common – how worship, theology, attitude, relationships and other characteristics are shaping these churches to be effective. The book then tells the story of several urban churches, diverse in terms of size, history, leadership, denomination, focus, and theology. Harper concludes the book with a discussion of how readers can follow these churches’ lead in moving from simple charity to justice. Included in the book are group study materials, discussion questions, recommended Scripture, guidelines for church ministry, and resources for further investigation. | | |
