"In this era of social fragmentation, how should the Church pursue mission? Martin Robinson cuts to the chase: God speaks to us in the context of the local. Correctly identifying the influence of modernity's disregard for place on the Church, Robinson signals a clear pathway forward - to enable the vocation of church communities to participate with God on the ground in the remaking of social life. Drawing on his extensive experience and illustrating through vivid grassroots stories and sound theology, this is an inspirational book, yet short and practical. A gift to church leaders and laity of all traditions." -- Jenny Sinclair, Founder and Director of Together for the Common Good
