Unlocking the Soul of a City

Cities are becoming increasingly competitive. In the past, cities focused on their similarities: school systems, parks, infrastructures, historical significance or attractions. And yet people moving from one city to another know one basic fact: no two cities are the same. They may appear similar, but they are not the same. But what makes them different?
As the world becomes increasingly urban and people flock to cities, churches are challenged more than ever to be relevant to the city. Christians are tasked with championing the city without condoning the sinfulness within it. How can they engage cities effectively?
This book helps people know how to identify the soul of the city by discovering a city's values. Values drive specific behaviors that then drive city cultures. By knowing a city's values, leaders and individuals can know what makes each city unique and why it matters to them and to others. Unlocking the Soul of the City walks through seven key areas for discovering a city's values, and in turn, gives individuals and leaders the capacity to champion the city effectively.
