The Colors of Culture

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“MelindaJoy Mingo is quite simply one of the finest leaders I have ever known. This book is a clarion call for Christians to arise and answer the questions, What does it mean to be Christian? and What does it mean to be human? Here is a biblical approach to demonstrating a visible gospel of racial justice. In an often careless world of indifference and intolerance, the world is searching for an expression of God's love beyond mere words. If you read this book, you will be inspired, but if you do what this book is asking, you will be forever changed. In The Colors of Culture, MelindaJoy Mingo teaches us how to think critically about inequality and diversity without getting mired in guilt or despair. Through her stories, she carefully explains why there's a social polarization within Christian communities of faith. Then with challenging directives, she shows us tangible ways this Christian culture of polarization can be repaired and even eradicated—when each of us pours love and compassion into being all that Christ calls us to be. This is one powerhouse book!”
