THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM : Celebrating the Gospel in Urban America
Lupton, Robert D., Barabra R. Thompson
Harper & Row, 1989
121 pages

In this insightful and moving series of vignettes Lupton shows how his experiences in a high crime area of Atlanta shattered many of his assumptions about himself and the nature of poverty in America. He found that his mission was as much about his own salvation as it was about that of the urban poor. He was surprised to learn that a spiritual life had already taken root in the urban soil, exposing his own patronizing attitudes, materialism and biases. Refreshingly lucid, well written, biblically sensitive. Highly recommended.
