Description:
In ViralHope: Good News from the Urbs to the Burbs, fifty authors take on the task of sharing the good news for their city, together weaving a beautiful tapestry of the gospel in all its depth and complexity. These essays reveal how the gospel lives and breathes in neighborhoods around the world. REVIEWS "ViralHope is a unique and enticing collection of postcards from a veritable who's who of the missional church from across the Western world. It provides us with articulate and varied perspectives on how missionaries to the West are conceiving the good news in and for their various contexts. A worthy read." - Alan Hirsch, (theforgottenways.org) "ViralHope inspires me to live more of the kingdom now." - Kelly Monroe Kullberg, Author of Finding God at Harvard and Finding God After Harvard "There has been a lot of talk the last decade about 'the kingdom of God' and being 'missional.' Going beyond mere explanation, ViralHope shows you what these terms mean. In fifty wonderful snapshots, ViralHope demonstrates that in many places and times the decade of talk has produced mature reflection and bountiful fruit." - Todd Hunter, Author of Giving Church Another Chance "What a delight to read these posts from people on the ground working out the Gospel in their cities and 'burbs' in ordinary, everyday life. This kind of down-to-earth reporting we need right now. I will definitely be using this little gem for my work." - Alan Roxburgh, Author of The Missional Leader "This book so deeply encourages me because it reminds me, you, us, and the rest of the world that no one monopolizes or owns the Gospel but rather the Gospel owns... and liberates us." - Eugene Cho, Pastor and Blogger (eugenecho.com); Founder of One Day's Wages (onedayswages.org)
