Description
"America's inner cities are in crisis! Urban ghettoes lead the nation in felony drug arrests. Poverty, prison and pervasive violence have created an urban nightmare where senseless bloodshed has become an accepted fact of life. And in the midst of this crisis, God has left his church as a witness ... a church that some say has lost touch with the reality of the streets. Provocative, informative, and often disturbing; Urban Assault; the WORD on the Street takes an objective look at the inner city and the root causes of the crises, including: the history of the urban ghetto from the Great Migration of the 1930's to the present. The devastating impact of the Crack-Cocaine explosion and the War on Drugs. J.D. Morgan shares insight from more than 20 years of experience in outreach ministry to make the case that the only solution to the crisis in the inner city is Christ in the inner man."--Provided by the publisher.
