Publisher's Synopsis
If most of the world lives in cities and God loves the world, we have to figure out what it means to reflect Jesus there. Much of the world has come to the gates of American cities, and we want to walk and dwell among its people just as Christ modeled. Understanding the tremendous opportunity and holy privilege before us, we long to demonstrate and announce his beautiful Kingdom in the heart of the city in order that the glory of God be visible to our neighbors. Jesus stepped into neighborhoods in and around Jerusalem and showed his disciples how to live. Through the life of Christ, we learn what it means to be salt and light, to bear truth and hope. Regardless of our background or how we got to the city, we are here. Some of us have come by choice, others by default. The mission of Jesus and the call of God remain.
