Stories from Below the Poverty Line: Urban Lessons for Today's Mission

Christians who hope to minister to the inner city might benefit from Stories from Below the Poverty Line: Urban Lessons for Today's Mission, a gritty release from Herald Press. Author George Beukema, a pastor in New York City, writes that he hopes this book will demonstrate the vitality of faith among poor people, as well as inform middle-class readers of poor Americans' needs. The stories are powerful, but the prevalence of such terms as ""capacity hermeneutic"" means that this is a book for the theologically literate, not the general reader.
