Review:

Out of Ashes chronicles the history of the urban poor in America while exploring their current needs as well as their future hopes. Author Keith Phillips believes that the Holy Spirit is still seeking to empower the poor of our cities so they will become a significant part of the body of Christ, even as they were in the first century when the gospel spread like a fire through needy areas of Africa, Asia and Europe.

Phillips teaches in a practical fashion about how poor, middle-class and upper-middle class Christians, regardless of their race, can bridge racial, class and cultural divides to unite as one in Christ.

Keith Phillips is president of World Impact, a nationwide, interdenominational discipling and church-planting ministry in America s inner cities. He first began sharing the love of God in the inner city of Los Angeles shortly before the 1965 Watts riots. For more than 30 years World Impact missionaries have shared Christ's love in U.S. cities. --Foursquare News
