This is not a book of theories but a book that reflects what is possible after the riots of LA in '92. It starts out with history of racial and cultural alienation. But it does much more than clearly identify the problems in society it gives a wholistic view of putting society back together with a purpose.My favorite chapter is chapter 11, "Today Planting Urban Churches". It is the clearest and most accurate explanation of culture in comparison to other cultures BUT also a clear look at culture within a culture. This chapter alone is worth the purchase of this book.I know this author and I have spent time with some of his executives and I can tell you that they truly believe in what they are doing and the content of this book.This is an anthropological book that shows how to improve on our society today in the present.This is a valuable book.
