Alvin Sanders Livres

"Maintaining the right perspective and disposition in serving the broken and needy is critical to a Kingdom-focused, Christ-centered approach to poverty work. Dr. Sanders's reflections provide us with a theologically sound and practically wise philosophy of what it means to be a Christ-follower dedicated to seeking the transformation of communities of poverty, wherever we find them. Every person who seeks to do the kind of ministry among the poor that is truly redemptive must engage with this teaching." - Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis Senior Vice President of Church Resources, World Impact Executive Director, The Urban Ministry Institute

In urban ministry, Christians too often treat the poor as goodwill projects instead of people. How can the people of God develop healthy, local, urban churches that will seek the common good of their communities? In this essential resource, Alvin Sanders engages hard truths about urban neighborhoods and provides a model for how to do ministry in difficult conditions.
