Books by Mike McKinley

It is impossible to alleviate povertyΓÇòin its fullest senseΓÇòapart from the local church.In recent years, Christians have shown an increased commitment to helping the poor. But this renewed interest in poverty alleviation is doomed to fail if it is not rooted in the local churchΓÇòGod’s established means of drawing downtrodden people into a transformative relationship with himself. Emphasizing the priority of the gospel, Mez McConnell and Mike McKinley, both pastors with fruitful ministries among the poor, offer biblical guidelines and practical strategies for planting, revitalizing, and growing faithful churches in hard placesΓÇòin our own communities and around the world.

McKinley challenges new and nominal Christians to take a deeper look at their Christian faith. The book addresses five key criteria to evaluate one's standing before God.
