Book description

The acclaimed author of Soul Friend speaks from the heart of his lifelong urban ministry in this spirited call for living out one's Christian spirituality in the real world. Leech argues brilliantly for the essential unity of Christian spirituality and social commitment, showing that spirituality without community "can be a dangerous diversion from the living God".
