Savior of San Francisco, A Tale of the Christ-an extraordinary mixture of city history and sacred scripture-ponders what could occur were the Christ Jesus to appear and traverse the grievous streets of San Francisco in contemporary times. It's a city in dire crisis on the verge of complete collapse: rampant crime, epidemic drug deaths, a scourge of homelessness, a deserted downtown, empty offices, vacant buildings, shuttered storefronts, a mass exodus of businesses and residents, fleeing from what's turning into a dystopian wasteland. A spiraling and deadly doom loop. A zombie apocalypse. A corrupt, incompetent, and indifferent government. A complacent populace in abysmally deep denial. An apologist, propagandistic news media. A nightmarish hellscape of human suffering and misery across which abruptly rambles the promised Messiah. What becomes crystal-clear as the Christ wanders the land, the pervading problem plaguing the city is pure, unadulterated greed. And that the simplest, most forthright solution is pure and gracious giving. The sole solution that, contrary to its hyper-pretensions to all-accepting and non-discriminating inclusion, this mostly atheistic city has neglected to try. This tale of faith and hope, a love letter to numerous of those dearly beloved parts of the city well worth saving, speculates ultimately how the teachings of the Christ might directly impact the city's most critical and compelling challenges.

This book is a tribute to God's faithfulness to His people, and to His mission to build His church and expand His kingdom. It is also a tribute to the faithfulness of God's people to answer the call to share the Good News, and to make disciples among all the nations. It contains stories of those who answered the call of ministering overseas for short periods of time. It also includes accounts of those who laboured in other cultures for long periods of time. Some of these missionaries became leaders in our movement, others returned home and continued to serve in their local churches. In the end, this book reminds us that we have a great God who uses small, weak people to invade dark kingdoms, bringing light and life for eternity. - Rev.
