Inspired by an incarnational theology that emerges from a missional reading of Luke 10, Chung and Meehan went out to discover the stories of contemporary disciples who labor in the harvest fields of God’s uncommon, upside down Kingdom. The stories that emerge describe the work and presence of the Spirit in communities across North America, where ordinary, faithful people and churches embrace the Spirit’s invitation by sharing themselves with their neighbors.
Our need to connect with neighbors seems more difficult now than ever but Chung and Meehan say we shouldn’t be afraid of change and to listen to the Spirit’s prodding. By sharing stories on how to ‚go local‘ by remaining faithfully present the authors encourage us to embrace our neighborhoods and join Jesus by loving people in the tangible, ordinariness of life.
