<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The chasm between evangelism and social action needs to be bridged. Chester convincingly argues that the truth of the gospel is best understood and embraced in the context of loving action and gospel-centered community.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Help</strong> them or <strong>tell</strong> them?<br /> <strong>Be</strong> like Jesus or <strong>talk</strong> about Jesus?<br /> Social <strong>action</strong> or gospel <strong>proclamation</strong>?</p><p>Quite often we find ourselves gravitating toward one of those modes over the other--at times going so far as to pit word against deed, as if the two were mutually exclusive. Yet <em>Good News to the Poor</em> shows us how both are integrated in the biblical vision of mission so that we may become both evangelists <em>and</em> activists--Christians who talk the talk <em>and</em> who walk the walk.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Tim Chester</strong> (PhD, University of Wales) is pastor of the Crowded House in Sheffield, United Kingdom, and director of the Porterbrook Seminary, which provides integrated theological and missional training for church leaders. Chester coauthored <em>Total Church</em> and has written more than a dozen books, including <em>You Can Change</em> and <em>A Meal with Jesus</em>.</p>
