{"product_id":"joshua-and-the-city","title":"Joshua and the City","description":"Millions of Joshua fans have made each novel in  this inspirational series a national best-seller --  and will have their highest expectations met by  this eagerly awaited parable for today. There are  times when the human race falls so deeply into  despair that it seems only a visit from God can bring  it back from the brink of utter devastation. Many  people, when they look at the dangerous problems in  today's society, can see that we live in just such  a time. With his characteristic warmth and  sincerity, Joshua makes his eagerly awaited return to  answer this fear as he confronts the needs and  injustices that face the residents of a nameless city.  But this is a Joshua you've never seen before, one  who overcomes such endemic urban problems as  poverty, racism, and AIDS -- one who  even confronts the terrifying realities of mental  illness and satanism. In a community where these  seem like insurmountable problems, Joshua sows the  seeds of renewal with his words of love. He  reaches out to every person with transforming openness  and shows the possibilities for bringing about the  regeneration of the city, even bringing about  undreamed-of economic revitalization. But other  problems remain for the inhabitants of this world of  despair, which money cannot help. It is, most  importantly, to these residents that Joshua addresses his  message of acceptance. This inspirational series  of novels about the return of Jesus in the present  day now reaches important conclusions with its  fourth installment. The message of Joshua has never  so closely addressed such urgent matters, and, in  the end, the reader is given hopeful answers that  lead in the direction of peace and understanding.","brand":"Prh Christian Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51947506368743,"sku":"9780385485692","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_4b7f3a85-6ce0-4fe8-b671-76c3806886e0.jpg?v=1775496031","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/joshua-and-the-city","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
