Stephan de Beer offers a fresh, exciting and thoroughly engaging approach. The title is enticing and playful, but the book is a serious grappling with the daunting realities of a shadowed, marginalised, urban life. It does not theorise or pontificate about a concept. The author is not a distant, neutral observer. He is an engaged minister to the people, a struggler in their struggles, prophet to the powerful. This book invites the reader to join the people of the cities under siege by failed policies, empty promises, and disastrous politics, in their struggles for meaningful life, and it makes a powerful, persuasive case. Stephan de Beer has offered us a great gift and a wonderful opportunity to think and hope anew, and differently, about the life, reality, and future of the city.[Review]. 500 $a Also issued in electronic format. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a City and town life $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Church and social problems. 650 0 $a City churches. 650 7 $a Church and social problems. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00860491 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861830 650 7 $a Sociology, Urban $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123972 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025842.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B4911AA8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
