by J. David Jackson (Author)
Author Willem Lange once said, "New England is a state of mind, a place where dry humor and perpetual disappointment blend to produce an ironic pessimism that folks from away find most perplexing." The region is indeed unique and different from all other parts of North America. In this short book, the author unveils some of the values and norms that make New England special. Jackson builds on that understanding to show how a contextual approach to ministry is most effective in the region, when strategy meets methodology for spiritual impact.
