Stay: Deeper in the Heart of Jesus in the Heart of the City

Stay: Deeper in the Heart of Jesus in the Heart of the City

Janet Hellner-Burris
Role: Author

Stay is a powerful story of hope about a small congregation which heard the call of Jesus to “stay in the city” in a neighborhood struggling with racism, poverty and drug violence. Each chapter includes meditations on the twelve Holy Words (such as Choose Love Over Fear, Manna Economics, Forgiveness and Hope), which guided this congregation to become a leader in racial reconciliation, peacemaking, and congregational transformation. With questions for personal and congregational reflection at the end of each chapter, the work becomes a practical resource for congregations searching for how to transform their ministry through deep contemplative prayer and life-changing missions.
