City Faith Jared Kirk

THE DISTRACTIONS AND DIVERSIONS OF THE CITY CAN BE DEADLY TO YOUR FAITH, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

Hundreds of thousands of people move into cities every year for jobs, opportunities, and self-discovery. This book is about how to stop coasting and start growing spiritually during your urban adventure. It's about how to leverage the small amount of time you have in your metropolitan area to advance spiritually so that you leave town deeply impacted by God, ready to bring the hope and freedom of Jesus with you wherever you go next.

Pastor Jared Kirk draws on his years of ministry experience in downtown Boston, MA to help you explore the decisions you must make for spiritual growth. Evaluating each decision through the lens of expensive, transient, secular life in the city, you will gain competence in skills such as:

Developing a distraction-proof faith
Making a lasting difference when you don't plan to stay for a lifetimeLiving generously when housing is expensiveBuilding healthy relationships that last beyond your time in the cityNavigating singleness in a godly way

For those who believe that God is present in their metropolis, City Faith is a bold call to make your time in the city count. You'll come away feeling less anxious and more confident that you can thrive during your time in the city.

PRAISE FOR CITY FAITH

"A new generation of Christians has arrived in urban areas, and a new set of faith-related problems and solutions along with it. This work truly meets the moment. If you're a Christian in your twenties or thirties living in a major city, this book is going to read your mail-and then help you sort it out."
