For those battling to bring freedom to spiritually depressed communitiesHave you wondered how a community can have flourishing, safe neighborhoods, thriving family units, and a relatively low crime in one area, only to discover that just "one street over" is a literal war zone? Broken families, drugs, crime, gangs, and more. Why?This book explores the spiritual reasons that this dynamic exists in so many cities today. After living and pastoring in the same community for over 12 years, Pastor Parris Patrick offers fresh insight into the spiritual decline of his community between the years of 1996 and 2009 and compares the decline with the removal of God's presence recorded in the book of Ezekiel.The author helpfully presents ideas and kingdom strategies you can employ to lift the darkness of spiritual oppression and attract the presence of God in your community. If you are battling to bring freedom to spiritually depressed areas in your community, this book is for you.
