		<description><![CDATA["Urban ministry activist Robert Lupton moved into a high crime area of Atlanta intending to bring Christ’s message into the ghetto—but his humbling discovery of a spiritual life already flowering in the city’s urban soil forces the minister to reexamine the deepest parts of his own soul, confronting his own patronizing, materialistic attitudes and the biases he himself held against the urban poor."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Why is it that the best strategic plans and good leadership often are not able to move churches in the desired direction? Sam Chand contends that toxic culture is to blame. Quite often, leaders don't sense the toxicity, but it poisons their relationships and derails their vision. "]]></description>

Whether you are a pastor or a layperson, here you will find simple, reproducible strategies that will move your church from good intentions to compassionate action. "]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://renewpartnerships.org/?p=3968</guid>
		<description><![CDATA["Sharing from his own experiences growing up in the segregated South, pastor John Piper thoughtfully exposes the unremitting problem of racism. Instead of turning finally to organizations, education, famous personalities, or government programs to address racial strife, Piper reveals the definitive source of hope—teaching how the good news about Jesus Christ actively undermines the sins that feed racial strife, and leads to a many-colored and many-cultured kingdom of God."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["This analogy became a stepping-stone by which the gospel came into the Sawi culture and started both a spiritual and a social revolution from within. With an epilogue updating how the gospel has impacted the Sawi people, PeaceChild will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this unforgettable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["To ensure that Dr. King’s statement doesn’t ring true 50 years from now, Author Scott Williams challenges the church to get out of their comfort zone and confront the age-old elephant in the pew, known as church diversity. Church Diversity the book encourages congregants and ministry leaders alike to embrace diversity, rather than merely tolerate it."]]></description>
