Michael O. Emerson
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“Chinn's work is a gigantic step forward, filling a gaping hole in our understanding . . . This is a fascinating book, highly original, vitally important.”
World Religions
“Can we calculate the heartbreak, the destroyed families, the broken lives, the jobs denied, the inferior educations, the anger and hatred, the division, the laws meant to segregate or incarcerate, the lengths people go to to avoid each other, or the number of deaths due to racism? The pain created by racism is huge, it’s massive, and it needs to end—now. In this powerful book, Jim Wallis outlines the path forward, a path of true repentance and one that moves us in a new direction, as a new people. In the land of opportunity and hope, it can be done. With clarity and wisdom, this book shows us how.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“America’s Unholy Ghosts is a paradigm shifter. This book fundamentally reorients our understanding of race, faith, politics, and our intellectual heroes. You will see the world differently after reading this book. A tour de force.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Our racial division and inequality are extreme. In the midst of such challenges, we shout, we accuse, we point fingers, we divide into camps. And we get nowhere. Dr. Yancey proposes an alternative, rooted deeply in Christian understanding and sociological knowledge. He offers hope and clarity for our times. A must-read.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“A much-needed book! George Yancey proposes to do what is long overdue--systematically analyze race and race relations to suggest a thoughtful Christian approach to racial problems. And I cannot think of a better person to write this book. Dr. Yancey has been working in the area of race relations for many years, written several influential books on the subject and knows how to write readable, to-the-point books for Christians.”
Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This book gets it right. The goal is not simply for churches to be demographically multi-ethnic. It is for them to be healthy and vibrant. Rooted deeply in Scripture and clear in its commitments, Mark DeYmaz's Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church illuminates the path for living out God's call to be one in the church for the sake of the gospel. An essential read.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Leadership, true leadership that knows the times, has a vision of where we are to go, and guides a people there, is in severe short supply. Pastor Derwin Gray is a proven leader, and he outlines in fascinating detail how to be a godly leader in a multicolored, complex world. A fascinating and vitally important book that is exactly right for the times.”
Charismatic Leadership and Missional Change
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
(wrote the foreword)
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“After reading this book, I am convinced: we need gracism. Division and inequality are consequences of our fallen world. But as the members of the church we must walk against division and injustice. The brilliance of this book is that we are shown how to overcome individual-level racism, clearly and plainly. Dr. Anderson provides us with real tools for real life. Gracism is an act, a state of being. Members of the body, let's be gracists.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Leading Through Storms is unlike any other leadership book I have read. It takes us through the trenches, walking us along the realistic path of struggle as we attempt to lead amidst challenges and uncertainty. Bishop Dudley shares from the heart while helping us to stand firm even as waves of doubt crash around us. This book is for everyone. Highly recommended.”
Models for a Multicultural Church
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Multicultural churches are a gift from God, yet they can be complex and even feel overwhelming at times. How can life together be done in such contexts? This book helps to answer this question. In Models for a Multicultural Church, Nehrbass and Hong brilliantly focus on postures: ways of being that allow for healthy, vibrant, diverse congregations. Because every church's circumstances are different, no single posture is appropriate for all; thus, we learn of a variety of postures that can be employed. This book is a gift for churches, church leaders, and denominations.”
Theology
“New Wine Tasting enables us to lift our heads and, with eyes wide open, learn how to engage our culture as we are called to do. Cutting-edge theology for our times. We need this volume.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
Foreword
“George Yancey has written a remarkable book that makes a groundbreaking contribution. Drawing extensively on the first-ever national study of multiracial congregations, he uncovers seven main factors that these congregations have in common. He takes us through these commonalities, step by step, in an engaging and easy-to-read manner. Contained in the book is the very heart of what it takes to transform one's church into a multiracial congregation, and what it takes to develop together once a church is demographically multiracial.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“God and country. We hear this phrase so often that we come to equate the two realities. But at what cost for Christ followers? Patriotism has its place, argues Wes Crawford, but we are navigating treacherous waters, in danger of unknowingly being sucked into a vortex of idolatry. One Nation over God is an important, even prophetic book. Read it carefully and prayerfully, as our futures will be shaped by the truths shared in this timely work.”
Racial Justice for the Long Haul
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“American Christianity needs an enlarged narrative, one that defines itself as the diverse family of God working for justice and a flourishing, redeemed society. Racial Justice for the Long Haul shows us the path. Beautifully written with key insights and a vitally important argument, this book not only needs to be read, but its lessons need to be put into practice.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is the book I've been waiting for. Since the publication of The New Jim Crow, we have needed an analysis of incarceration and justice from a Christian perspective. Rethinking Incarceration is a powerful book that needs to circulate widely, for in it we learn not only of the issues, but how to move forward for desperately needed restorative change.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is one of the most insightful, wise-for-the-times books I have read. It is so deeply needed, and I will be recommending it widely. My only regret was that it didn’t come out sooner. I almost wept thinking about the thousands of churches that could have used this book in the summer of 2020— the summer of George Floyd. But I rejoice thinking of how many people will read it now. There are millions of people who need to read this book.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Leadership, true leadership that knows the times, has a vision of where we are to go, and guides a people there, is in severe short supply. Pastor Derwin Grey is a proven leader, and he outlines in fascinating detail how to be a godly leader in a multicolored, complex world. A fascinating and vitally important book that is exactly right for the times.”
The Religion of American Greatness
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“A much-needed and astute analysis of a major reality in the United States, a reality that challenges the very heart of this nation and of Christianity. Dr. Paul Miller brings to bear years of political experience, a deep commitment to Christian understanding, and a wellspring of scholarly comprehension to help us see what ultimately is wrong with Christian nationalism. A must-read.”
