A Heart for the City

The astonishing fact of our time is that for the first time in the history of the world, the majority of the world's nearly six billion people live in cities. A major missiological question for our time, then, is: How can the lessons God is teaching the churches inside the United States' forty world-class cities leverage or influence world missions and evangelism in the four hundred largest cities on this planet where the majority of unreached or unevangelized people now live? The good news is that, perhaps to the surprise of many, the Bible has much to say about ministry in the city. The chapters of this book represent a diagonal cut acrsoss the body of Christ in the city and what Christ is teaching us. - Foreword.
