ENDORSEMENTS for book:
“GOOD NEWS FOR THE STRUGGLING CLASS”
Peter DeBoer – Kuyper College: Senior Development Representative
I am recommending this book because the struggling class in North America is growing, and well-informed ministry for and with those who are struggling is a critical and growing need. God is concerned for the poor, and in this book, Charles Uken shares practical ministry insights about how to share God’s love in a complex and rapidly changing world.

Most Christians who care about God’s integral mission are familiar with the Lausanne Covenant’s declaration that “evangelization requires the whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world.” Increasingly the church in the West is conscious that the world’s people and faiths are present in their backyards. Even so, Charles Uken challenges the white middle-class church in North America to not overlook yet another group of neighbors so close we might not see them: the struggling class. This brief book packed with Biblical reflection, good news, and discipleship and ministry insights for cross-cultural ministry with the struggling class will move you to compassion and action in ways you might not have considered.
