What if, instead of seeing neighbors in need, we saw a community of change-makers ready to transform their own neighborhood?

Many churches and Christians long for kingdom transformation in their communities and cities, and invest significant time and resources hoping to achieve this. Yet, pervasive barriers continue to prevent neighborhoods from experiencing Jesus' intended fullness of life. Austin Maxheimer draws on over fifteen years of experience in neighborhood revitalization and ministry leadership and challenges us to address this gap by shifting our strategy.

Rooted in biblical foundations and enriched by practices, research, and stories, Maxheimer presents his approach to asset-based community development, revealing its potential to cultivate fullness within communities and shift the trajectory of systemic marginalization.

This book calls for a renewed commitment to the twin pillars of loving God and loving our neighbor and graciously offers a practical path for us to walk that commitment out.
