Synopsis

In this easy-to-use introductory textbook, Dave Andrews combines the fruit of his practical experience over many years as a community worker with the best practice currently being taught at college level. It can be used for self-study, as a resource for church-based mission training, for study at seminary or by extension, and it complements existing courses that do not consider the implications of a Christian worldview.
