This is the current book that i am reading through. I am about 2/3 done with it and i am completely amazed at what i just read. For those of you who know who John Perkins is then you might know some of this story. He is basically hailed as one of the early urban ministers in our generation. He grew up in post war times in Mississippi and dealt w/ a lot of the extreme rascist movements in the south. This book is essentially his autobiography and explains why and how he does the things he does. During the Pink House ministry we have learned much about his three R's of innercity life. Relocation, Reconciliation and Redistribution. in October we went to St. Louis to attend the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) conference and heard him speak and give bible studies. I wish i would have read this book before i met him and heard him speak. His story is pretty incredible, to listen to the struggle and battle that he had gone through and how God had kept leading him on to establish leaders and those willing to die for their faith. if you are looking for an encouraging read and one that is super interesting. Go for it.
