A Future for the Latino Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Being Latino in Christ

Christian Living

“This is an exceptional work because it provides emotional and spiritual holism to second-generation Latinos who struggle with identity. There are also many helps for other second-generation ethnic groups.”

Cultural Change & Your Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This volume will assist the church in carrying out the Great Commission in the 21st century.”

One Body, One Spirit

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Dr. Yancey has provided a helpful volume for the church as it takes on the globalization of our communities. He provides much assistance in the 'how to' of the ministry of the church. One of the important areas that is extremely helpful is worship. Yancey's investigation has brought together numerous principles and illustrations on how best to develop the ministry of a multiethnic church. In the flow of things, it seems that he is deeply concerned that the multiethnic church not be an end in itself but a means to race reconciliation.”

To Live in Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Mark Gornik is a practitioner who has served faithfully in communities of need. He is also prophetic in his lifestyle and writing because he speaks for the God who embraces the poor. This volume is superior sociologically and theologically, both in its sociological understanding of the city and in its biblical theology for urban ministry. This will be a great resource for both scholars and practitioners for many years to come.”

Walk with the People

Church Leadership & Ministry

“After reviewing where the Latino church was twenty years ago when I wrote The Hispanic Challenge, and now examining the work of Juan Martinez, I found his book extremely encouraging and helpful in assisting the Latino church in this globalized society. The sociology of religion and the actual issues related to assimilation and adaptation will help the church in North America to be much more missiological as it engages the twenty-first century. I highly recommend this book to both Latino and non-Latino churches.”
