Synopsis

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth"--Abraham Lincoln. Over 100 years ago, President Abraham Lincoln understood that if this country was not to perish from the earth it would take a new birth of freedom. To the credit of this great nation, we rose to that challenge. Today, we stand at another turning point in history. This time the challenge is a spiritual one. Will the people of God rise up and demonstrate the love of God by meeting ever-changing human needs? The biblical principles learned in Dr. Perkins' 30 years ministering at the community level make up the story of this book: from the first local thrift shop and healthy center in Mendenhall, Mississippi to the establishment of the Christian Community Development Association and Urban Family magazine. Dr. Perkins' hope in writing this book is that this country can experience a new spiritual birth--a quiet revolution that responds with the love of Jesus Christ to the hurting people of the world.
