Praise for the Books in the Series

How to Give Away Your Faith: "A tremendous help in witnessing."

—Billy Graham

Free at Last?: "The scope of the gospel must be engaged in the black experience. Dr. Ellis is a brilliant theologian and sage! I recommend Free at Last? as foundational cross-ethnic reading for thinking through and dealing with the issues of today. "

—Eric M. Mason, lead pastor of Epiphany Fellowship Church, Philadelphia

The God Who Is There: "Francis Schaeffer was a reading, listening, thinking man. He had his finger on the pulse of ongoing cultural trends and had an unusual gift for communicating key ideas at a nontechnical level. In this postmodern era his approach to evangelism and discipling remains supremely relevant."

—J. I. Packer, author of Knowing God

The Heart of Racial Justice: "What Rick and Brenda do in this biblically grounded book is to make reconciliation practical through the example of their friendship, reflecting on those who have gone on before them and building on (and appreciating) what each one has to offer. I highly recommend that you take time to read The Heart of Racial Justice. It is a blueprint for the Christian church."

—John M. Perkins, author of Let Justice Roll Down, from the foreword

The Next Worship: "Because we live in an increasingly diverse, mixed and multicultural reality, The Next Worship is a must-read resource for pastors and worship leaders. Navigating the profound complexities of cultural identity within the life of the church, Sandra Van Opstal equips and compels us toward becoming a more competent, generous and self-aware leader."

—Gail Song Bantum, executive pastor of Quest Church
