Reverend Harry "OG Rev." Williams from Oakland, California, is called to the streets: to the hungry, homeless, addicted, incarcerated, and vulnerable. Bringing us face-to-face with both the injustices that plague our cities and the gospel of compassion that offers hope to the downtrodden, this introduction to urban ministry will inspire and equip a new generation to bring the life-giving good news of Jesus to our cities.
Dr. Cornel West calls the author a "...wise, courageous and compassionate guide" and warns, "Don't miss this powerful book!" Most urban ministry books cull insights from scrub faced youth pastors and long dead theologians. In Street Cred, Williams brings the voices of gang shot callers, hip-hop stars, hood figures and violence intervention specialists to the table. Williams explains why inner city ministries all over America are dying and offers hope and advice for creating real change. This book is blunt, in your face and real. Jump in the shotgun seat and buckle up!

Following up on the popularity of the groundbreaking anthology Embodied Spirits: Stories of Spiritual Directors of Color, this book continues the work of filling a void in the world of contemplative spirituality in stories of the contemplative spiritual journeys of people of color. Like the first book, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around incorporates stories from members of their encounters with ‘othering’ and disparaging treatment across issues and their understandings of contemplative practice and the call to action that follows. This volume seeks to give voice to these issues from those whom have lived with them and to seek peace and healing for the unresolved trauma that continues to separate us. In a world or resurgent racism and bias against those whose skin color, nationality, religion, gender, or sexuality are seen as “other,” these are voices that need to be heard.
