Mission and the Cultural Other

Evangelism & Missions

“Woodley does a fascinating job of addressing the objectifying of missions. . . . The book is rooted in helping the reader see the humanity of Indigenous people through Christian lenses that are not exclusively white or white supremacist in thought. It is a must-read for those who are in love with Jesus and love Indigenous people.”

Re-Imagining Short-Term Missions

Evangelism & Missions

“This book urges us to enter into short-term missions with a willingness to learn and defer. As a Black man, I resonate with this admonition, since I’ve often interacted with people who have presumed that they knew more about my communities than I did—even though they did not live with or look like the residents. While this book doesn’t attempt to address all of the problems with STM, I’m ordering it for all my staff!”

Young, Gifted, and Black

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Young, gifted, and Black. This particular group isn't small. Sheila Wise Rowe allows you to see how young, gifted, and Black individuals are forged in the fire like gold. She allows the reader to journey into the flames to understand the various ways these individuals survive and thrive. Unfortunately, some do not believe they are gifted when they are young and Black. The book is an encouragement to the audience to be resilient and persevere against all external voices that have taken root inside the hearts and minds of young, gifted, and Black people.”
