A nice collection of essays by a couple of authors who are familiar with life on the streets in Atlanta. The book is a good read for those who are interested in exploring the relationship between the church and those who suffer in our modern world, and it will challenge the assumption that there is a difference between the church and the suffering. The authors have many challenging things to say to Christians who live comfortably without thinking how their choices have an effect their neighbors. The real disadvantage of the book is its lack of continuity. Because it is merely magazine articles and sermons patched together, there is no cohesiveness, and the book ends up saying the same things over and over. The book would have come together better if the authors had written everything fresh. If you're not familiar with the Catholic Worker Movement or any Shane Claiborne-type ideologies, it may be better to read some introductory materials before wading through this book.
