Darkest England and the Way Back In by Gary Bishop

Darkest England and the Way Back In by Gary Bishop

Re-imagine how, why and where we engage in mission in the 21st century. This book lifts the lid on a world which exists beyond the margins of British society today. Through powerful stories, Biblical thought and personal reflection, 'Darkest England' takes us on a journey which calls us to hear again the implicit call of scripture for the church to spend itself on behalf of the poor.
