Because of this mindset, many remain unchurched. Healthy, local, urban churches are needed because they combine personal empowerment and community transformation. Every poor neighborhood needs uncommon churches that will seek the common good of their communities. Alvin Sanders engages hard truths about these neighborhoods and provides a model for how to do ministry in difficult conditions. The local, urban church is the key to community transformation, as it plays three crucial roles of empowering, partnering, and reaching. Pastors and church planters interested in Christian community development will find here practical insights into the power of the local church, which is often underrated. Churches can serve their communities and improve the quality of life of every facet of the neighborhood.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Despite all the loud sirens about the rise of the 'nones' and the 'dones, ' Dr. Alvin Sanders, a committed churchman whose life and ministry demonstrate his total and complete love for the church, declares a prophetic message for the church. The church is still God's chosen vehicle for community transformation, but only if we take seriously both her theological and communal responsibilities. Dr. Sanders's exhortation is a much-needed message for us today!</p>--Felix Theonugraha, president of Western Theological Seminary<br>
