The Good City: Transformed Lives Transforming Communities by Glenn BarthThe point of view expressed throughout this book is that cities are powerful shapers of culture. Because of this, people of faith and people of good will can work together to improve peoples' lives and exert a positive influence on the direction of cultural change. Both the Christian and the person who may not consider him or herself a follower of Christ have a vision of a better world. These visions are often similar enough that collaboration will bring shared visions into reality. This is a book that offers exciting new approaches to encourage people who want to have a positive impact and ally themselves with others who care about the same issues. This book will help leaders empower people to pursue their passion and calling in life by recognizing opportunities in the decentralized, postmodern context in which we live and work. |
