I love, love, love this book. Anyone planting in an urban context will find themselves nodding along.

Please read this book, whether you're an urban church planter or a suburban pastor. One of the ideas I find so relevant in this book is that the urban church planter of today is dealing with the problems that the suburban church planter of tomorrow will be dealing with.

While the author doesn't have all the answers, he has charted a path that many will find beneficial.
