Abstract: Eric Swanson and Sam Williams begin casting their vision for God's work in cities with an overview of the importance of cities in the twenty-first century. They address the process of community transformation along with examples of where and how cities have been changed for the good throughout history. They challenge readers to a vibrant kingdom-orientation in their ministries and use the concepts of 'whole church, whole gospel, and whole city' to explain this large vision. They encourage people of good faith to work together with people of goodwill for the common benefit of cities around the world.--From publisher's description.
