Triumph on the estate

CHRIST, THE CROSS AND
THE CONCRETE JUNGLE
By
John Caldwell
EP books. 114 pages. £5.99
ISBN 978 1 783 970 759

Christ, the Cross and the Concrete Jungle is John Caldwell’s testimony: it is primarily testimony to God’s wonderful grace in saving a young man growing up on a rough housing estate in Scotland, who had become trapped in a life of addiction and despair.

Without glorifying his past, John paints a vivid picture of the chaos, dependency and hopelessness that people on similar estates all over the country experience. This book highlights the particular challenges involved in reaching these often-neglected areas with the gospel – and helpfully identifies the primary issue as the same as everywhere else – sin.
