Synopsis

Are you tired of hearing people dismiss the church as an irrelevant relic? (Do you secretly wonder if they are right?)

Don Everts explores an exciting reality that is revealed in Scripture, shown throughout history, and confirmed in the latest research: when Christians pursue the common good of the neighborhood, the world stands up and notices. It turns out this is exactly what we're called to do. When Christians make good things, we bring blessings and hope to our local community. With original research from the Barna Group and Lutheran Hour Ministries on how Christians relate to our neighborhoods, this book is filled with constructive, practical ways that Christians and churches bless those around us. As Christians join together for the common good, we bring hope to the world, credibility to the church, and glory to God.

Goodreads review by Isaac

The hopeful neighborhood is an easy read with some valuable information on neighborhood ministry. A lot of good stuff, although I wish it went more in depth into conversation around diversity, gentrification, and other complications in building relationships within neighborhoods. Overall a good book......more
