Subject: "In the constant swirl of human suffering, the church has long wrestled with appropriate responses. As crises come and go, the need for the church's theological, missiological, and practical readiness remains, so that people not only survive but thrive in the context of a crisis.Practicing Hope brings together global scholars and practitioners who share and think broadly about the church's mission in a world rife with crises. Rather than harmonizing the voices of the contributors to provide general guidelines for generic crisis response, Practicing Hope allows the reader to hear multiple perspectives on complex issues such as sustainability, empowerment, human rights, biblicalprinciples, and missio Dei (mission of God). These essays highlight that being separated from Christ is the focus that will keep the church from losing its raison d'être--its reason for being.This book provides a potent reminder that crises are not the end; sometimes they are the beginning of something better. In these chapters, you will find stories of hope amid unimaginable darkness. Practicing Hope describes what it really means (not just in theory, but in practice) to be the salt of the earth and light of the world (Matt 5:14-15). We hope that you will be inspired, as Jesus said in the parable of the Good Samaritan, to 'go and do likewise.'"-- from book cover Back book flap
