Church Forsaken: Practicing Presence in Neglected Neighborhoods

by Jonathan Brooks

Raised on the south side of Chicago, Jonathan Brooks moved as far away as he possible as soon as he could. But through unforeseen events he found himself not only back in Englewood but also serving as a pastor and community leader. In this book he challenges Christians to be fully present in their communities, helping local churches rediscover that loving our neighbors means loving our neighborhoods.
