The methodology displayed in this book provides a template for future theological reflection and commentaryIt provides a lens through which to give value to often unnoticed and undervalued outcomes that flow when the church engages with seemingly unloved places. -- Ann Morisy, Community Theologian and author of the bestselling Beyond the Good Samaritan and Journeying Out on FINDING THE TREASURE

This is an asset-based theology to challenge the deficit-based missiology that pervades much of the Church today. -- Adrian Newman, Church Times on Interrupting the Church's Flow by Al Barrett
