description: More people live in cities now than at any other time in human history presenting a historic opportunity for Christians to influence the majority of the world. Unfortunately most Christian literature about the city focuses solely on its problems (crime homelessness etc.) rather than providing a comprehensive analysis of the city that informs instructs and inspires. Using sociological research and data urban pastors Justin Buzzard and Stephen Um lay out the vision and rationale for church planting cultural engagement and missionary impulses in our worlds cities as they provide a solid foundation for motivation. Here is a call to make the cities our home to take good care of them and to participate in Gods kingdom-building work in the urban centers of our world!
