Building on both the perspective of God's new creation and the view from the neighborhood, Mark R. Gornik's\u003ci\u003eTo Live in Peace\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the life of the church, the strategies of community development, and the practices of peacemaking can make a transformational difference. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Centering the book is the story of Baltimore's New Song Community Church, a church that stands as a witness to what can happen when the risks of the gospel are taken. Engaging with a wide range of theological and missiological perspectives, Gornik demonstrates how placing blame for the current conditions of life in the inner city on the residents themselves fails the test of critical analysis and the witness of Scripture. Yet his proposals also show ways that the church can work with the community to overcome structural obstacles to human flourishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark R.
