Summary:

This is a simple and solid guide for churches that want to make a difference. The authors explain why Christians and the Church should be involved in service and social action and discuss the different ways churches can get involved in their communities – service, community education, social action, and advocacy. The book points readers to the Bible for the ultimate motivation for compassion but spends more time on practical advice rather than deep theological thought. Readers will find an attractive and easy-to-read guide that will provide them with plenty of advice, encouragement, and resources to get an effective community ministry started in their congregation.
