For those of us who long to see the Church as a dynamic force of transformation in our communities, which battles against deep-seated and persistent injustice in all its diabolical forms, John R Hughes’ book serves as an essential roadmap. As we put into practice the Listen, Look, and Lead model, which he so expertly explains, no doubt we will observe new life in ourselves, our churches, and communities. John reminds us that real life happens when we start to put into practice the reality that it is not “all about us.” As we plant ourselves in our communities and assume the posture of humble learners focused on supporting those around us, God accomplishes in and through us even more than we can imagine.
