"Complied over more than 20 years, these collected writings represent a lifetime of practical ministry experience. The principles expressed here are more than theory, they have been implemented on the ground among real people in real places. They have been tried and tested. These writings are lessons learned over the long haul, from years of labouring to see the church of a city unify across denominational and theological divides and pull together missionally so that a community might experience the Gospel."
