IT TO THE STREETS: Using
the Arts to Transform Your Community
J. Nathan Corbitt and Vivian Nix- Early
This practical handbook combines reallife stories with tested methodologies to create a new paradigm for the role of the arts in Christian ministry and mission. Taking It to the Streets provides a historical perspective and theology for understanding the transforming power of the arts, a vocabulary for discussing the arts outside the sanctuary, and creative methods for turning faith into action in society. An ideal textbook for urban missions and youth ministry courses, Taking It to the Streets will also be a valued resource for churches devoted to creative mission.

And the gate is closed and the road ahead
Is teaming with life and with expectations"
