Opis

God is in the City is an inspiring collection of stories that will transform the way you see God and the city. While poverty, violence, and injustice abound in America's urban areas, Shawn shows us there is also deep faith, authentic community, and courageous struggle. Whereas, the city is often viewed negatively in the media and in the church, Shawn shows us how the city is a sacrament capable of transforming us. Enter into the beauty and struggle of the city to see where God's promise and purpose are breaking through in messy, mundane, and miraculous moments of life. Find God in all things, in all places, and in all people. Develop eyes to see where God is at work in even the most heartbreaking moments. See potential for life in the midst of death and possibility for meaningful bonds of community in the midst of deeply segregated city blocks. See hope growing out of places of deep despair. Discover the many ways God is in the city. ---------------------------------------------------- "This is more than a collection of stories that describe the joys that go with the demands of urban ministry. It is a glimpse into how God is working to do extraordinary things through seemingly ordinary people, and how, through their efforts, there has been spiritual growth and increasing optimism concerning the future of the city." Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus, Eastern University
