Looking for Answers about Abingdon Press With God in the Crucible: Preaching Costly Discipleship?

Often the church is accused of being so embedded in the culture that effective prophecy is impossible.

Drawing upon a collection of sermons and addresses given in a variety of contexts, Peter Storey preaches to Central Methodist Mission in Johannesburg, the nation of South Africa, and to us--here and now.
