Serving God in Todays Cities: Facing the Challenge of Urbanization (Engaging Challenges Facing the Global Church #1) Reviews
-
The thing I really liked about this book was the 8-part urban strategy. Johnstone doesn't lay out details but discusses a series of facets that he says must be incorporated into any strategy for a 21st century urban setting — and I think he's right on target.

Published in 2015 by GMI (
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) The IVP edition appears identical. Solid work, though: glad they reprinted it. See Amazon for the TOC and a meaty excerpt. -
Johnstone's approach to eight key problems within urban ministry is helpful. This book could serve as a bird's eye view of the struggles of urban work with some strategies for tackling these issues.
