A view from Nazareth for the future of Christianity Botrus Mansour understands that we live in deeply troubled times. In this book, written "from the Precipice" -- the local name for a part of Nazareth, the city where Jesus Christ grew up -- Mansour begs his readers to turn their hearts towards God and each other. He writes as an Arab, a Palestinian, a Christian, an Evangelical, and a teacher of the faith. This book ranges deeply and broadly into Christian devotion, discipleship, mission, current events, and the relationship between theology and practice. Christians live in a world with more than two billion fellow disciples and Mansour's message for the global church is urgent.
