Its a world in motion. Across the globe people are moving in unprecedented proportions from rural communities to urban centers. This explosion of growth and all the complexities it brings is not to be seen as a problem for churches, but as a giftan opportunity to work with God within the city to see His purposes worked out.Street Signs is a guide for church missions leaders and community ministry leaders seeking to bring spiritual and practical transformation to the city. Ray Bakke and Jon Sharpe offer transferable models that come from consultations held in over 200 world cities with church, business, government, and other leaders that provide approaches for Gods people who want to love their own cities from the inside out. They also provide a practical and inspirational guide to enable leaders to become volunteer consultants, bringing together church and city leaders to mobilize resources for the transformation of the city.

There are some tidbits of benefit-- discussions of the place of cities both in modern life and in the Bible, the difficulties resulting from an overly rural emphasis in light of the above, the value of a theology of place, and the ways that cities "work."
Much of the book, however, is really a promotional for the lives of the two men, the organization with which they work, and the type of efforts in which they engage. For one who has deep skepticism about the value of hierarchical spiritual organizations beyond what is established for the church in Scripture, and even greater skepticism about automatically assuming that the models of the marketplace are the ways that the church should function, such material was interesting at times but ultimately of little value.
