How is the church ministering to the needs of men and women who work on assembly lines and in machine shops? Not always very effectively, concludes Sample, who draws his deep understanding of the working-class community from the personal experiences of one who "has been there." Sample challenges churches that want to develop a relevant ministry to abandon their stereotypical images of working-class people and to cultivate a sensitive response to blue-collar needs. - Amazon.
