520 _aHelping the city pastor or missionary develop an effective ministry, Thompson elaborates on seven critical principles necessary for an effective urban ministry. Following this discussion the book turns to two of the leading challenges of great cities. Other chapters address urban discipleship as the most effective approach to promote life transformation, planting churches in the difficult urban environment, and raising a family in the city. --from publisher description.
