Church Leadership & Ministry
“Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones do the body of Christ a great service with their book. It allows readers to consider the joys and challenges of creating a multiracial Christian church and ministry. Such ministries are badly needed in a post-Christian America that is racially divided. But these ministries need to be accomplished with careful thought and planning. In Church as It Is in Heaven provides great insight that allows for such thinking and planning to take place.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Kingdom Racial Change blends personal narrative with sociological assessment in making the case that the church has a responsibility to take the radical steps needed to help society achieve racial justice. The book is valuable for those who are committed to this cause and are looking for useful tools to accomplish it. The mixture of personal narrative and engaging writing style makes this an easy-to-read book that will challenge readers to take a comprehensive approach in working toward racial reconciliation.”
Multicultural Ministry Handbook
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Wow. This book is a great help to multiracial ministry. Anderson and Cabellon provide valuable lessons from one of the most successful multiracial churches in the country. Their practical advice and inspirational encouragement are certain to be used for many years to come. I encourage anyone who is starting a multiracial congregation or is working with a multiracial congregation to take advantage of this tremendous work.”
Subverting the Power of Prejudice
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Barnes has made accessible to nonacademics important, well-researched insights surrounding the prevalence of prejudice in our society. This clear and readable book will help Christians to think more wholistically about how to deal with individual and societal prejudice.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“When I wrote Beyond Racial Gridlock, I was asked to also provide a companion book to help Christians with this conversation. At that time, I wished I had written Talking about Race. This is the book I have been praying for. It challenges all of us how to speak to each other as believers who are struggling to discuss these sensitive issues. Adams provides guidance to help us navigate the minefields that confront our racial conversations. This book is a critical missing piece for the development of real Christian racial reconciliation. If you want to gain practical insight into how to apply our Christian principles to our racial conversations, then pick up this book.”
Arts & Literature
“It is so enlightening to learn lessons from a field that I know little about. The Art of God teaches lessons about God and diversity using music as a pedagogical tool. It is written in such an accessible manner that even a music neophyte like me can enjoy it. We badly need the lessons in this book and Jimi Calhoun has found a great medium to deliver them.”
Christian Living
“All humans must deal with the basic question of who we are. While mature Christians have learned to use the reality of our status as image bearers to shape our self-identity, college students are in the middle of trying to find those answers. Fortunately, Perry Glanzer is able to mix his empirical analysis with biblical wisdom to create a valuable guide to help Christian students think about these issues. This book will be useful for Christian students, and it also has a postscript that will be insightful for those who work with students, such as staff and professors.”
When Collaboration Mirrors the Trinity
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Stafford reminds us that Christians must hang together or we will certainly hang separately. His call for collaboration is badly needed in a post-Christian society. We must take seriously his call for unity and find ways to work together as the body of Christ. Use Stafford’s effort to inspire you to take the intentional steps necessary to become truly one in Christ.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Shenvi’s interaction with critics of Christianity is instructive for those of us supporting Christian faith. This is a worthy book for your apologetical library and a great resource for moving forward in a society that constantly challenges us.”
