Allen focuses his philosophical and theological mind on the gracious practice of the \u201cthe City of Refuge\u201d among the Hebrew people as recorded in the Old Testament scripture. Citing this practice, Allen argues it\u2019s God\u2019s provision for failing individuals to confront, acknowledge, and tap into available resources to deal with such failures. This concept reflects God\u2019s own nature expressed by the experience and words of Psalmist David.<\/p>\n<p>Allen contends that the concept of the City of Refuge, which provides grace to those who have failed along the way, is taken to its highest level in Christ Jesus, who functions as the head and authority of the church. In <strong>The City of Refuge<\/strong>, he says the church must find ways to reduce and remove the stigma from those who have repented of wrong doings and demonstrated evidence of transformation.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-xl.net\/US\/855894\/excerpt\/\" rel=\"noopener\">READ AN EXCERPT<\/a> <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xlibris.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/855894-the-city-of-refuge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ORDER A COPY NOW<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In The City of Refuge: God\u2019s Gracious Provision for Humanity\u2019s Failures and Shortcomings, author Dr. Hixford N.
