D.A. Carson's endorsement of Why Cities Matter:
“Recent years have witnessed a torrent of books on urbanization and on
urban ministry. Many of these are specialist sociological studies;
others are ‘how to’ manuals so comprehensive that the Spirit of God
could walk out and we’d never miss him. What has been lacking is a
short, reasonably comprehensive, impassioned, and simply written survey
of the trends and issues, combined with unwavering commitment to the
eternal gospel and a transparent love for the city. Whether or not you
agree with all its details, this book supplies what has been lacking.
Written by two younger pastors on opposite sides of the country who
share their devotion to Christ and their years of fruitful ministry,
this book is neither sociology nor manual (though it has some features
of both), but a clarion call to Christians to look at cities with fresh
eyes and cry, ‘Give me this mountain!’”
