NEW!  BUILDING A PEOPLE OF POWER:  

Equipping Churches to Transform Their Communities

God never intended the church to be an institution.  God intends the church to be a people of relational power, using the power of Christ to transform the world into a shalom community of justice.  BPP explores shalom as the organizing principle of both the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and presents how God’s people can change the world.

Transforming Power

Christians have often been wary of power, thinking of it as something inherently evil or oppressive.  In this popular work, Robert Linthicum presents both a biblical understanding of power and practical strategies for using power in ways that are relational, healing and transforming for the city.  Ray Bakke writes of it, “It is the finest biblical work on relational power I have ever seen.”

City of God; City of Satan

A Biblical Theology of the Urban Church

This book builds both a theology and practice of urban ministry.  City of God; City of Satan answers three questions: (1) Why does the city seem like a battleground between good and evil?  (2) What is the church called to do in the light of such evil? (3) How can we Christians be spiritually prepared for waging such a battle?”  Foresight writes, “Profoundly visionary in scope, City of God; City of Satan is nevertheless intensely practical for both urban pastors and lay people.”

Empowering the Poor

Community Organizing Among the City’s ‘Rag, Tag and Bobtail’

Empowering the Poor dramatically defines a Christian strategy for empowering the poor of both third and first world countries to successfully deal with the political, economic and values-creating systems of their cities and countries around the relational values of the people.  Stu Imbach of Overseas Mission Fellowship states, “If I could choose only one book to use in urban ministry, this would be it!”   Also available as adapted in Portuguese under the title "Revitalizing The Church".
