Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Help to realize God's vision for racial harmony-without erasing the differences that make you an indispensable member of the body of Christ What if racial harmony weren't merely pie-in-the-sky rhetoric but a visible reality in our churches? Imagine the impact the gospel could have in the world if followers of Christ demonstrated the power of His love to overcome long-standing cultural divisions and join together people of all nations for His glory Sherard Burns is founder and president of Renewing Our Culture for Christ as well as the executive director of Believers Bible College and Seminary. Examining the lives and writings of theologians and other prominent figures throughout American history and in the Scriptures, Burns gets to the root of racial tensions and exclusion. He presents the gospel-centered path toward racial harmony and shows why it is the duty and joy of Christians to walk it. In this book, you'll learn: -Why racial harmony is basic Christianity, and why avoiding or resisting it denies the truth and power of the gospel -Why it's wrong to say that we need to be color-blind -Why the world's solutions are ultimately ineffective and theology needs to be in the driver's seat -How the miracle motif can make matters worse -How, why, and what different races need to remember and to forget -Why we need to practice incarnation and heavenly humility -Why God-like love should hurt NOW is the time to break the cycle of exclusion and division. Pick up your copy of Christ Above Culture and begin building a legacy of racial harmony today.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A compelling, original, and illuminating account chronicling the historic week between Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination and his funeral.In the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, riots broke out in 110 cities across the country. For five days, Atlanta braced for chaos while preparing to host King's funeral. An unlikely alliance of former student radicals, the middle-aged patrician mayor, the no-nonsense police chief, black ministers, white churchgoers, Atlanta's business leaders, King's grieving family members, and his stunned SCLC colleagues worked to keep Atlanta safe, honor a murdered hero, and host the tens of thousands who came to pay tribute. On April 9, 1968, 150,000 mourners took part in a daylong series of rituals honoring King--the largest funeral staged for a private U.S. citizen. King's funeral was a dramatic event that took place against a national backdrop of war protests and presidential politics in a still-segregationist South, where Georgia's governor surrounded the state capitol with troops and refused to lower the flag in acknowledgment of King's death. Award-winning journalist Rebecca Burns delivers a riveting account of this landmark week and chronicles the convergence of politicians, celebrities, militants, and ordinary people who mourned in a peaceful Atlanta while other cities burned. Drawing upon copious research and dozens of interviews-- from staffers at the White House who dealt with the threat of violence to members of King's family and inner circle--Burns brings this dramatic story to life in vivid scenes that sweep readers from the mayor's office to the White House to Coretta Scott King's bedroom. Compelling and original, Burial for a King captures a defining moment in America's history. It encapsulates King's legacy, America's shifting attitude toward race, and the emergence of Atlanta as a new kind of Southern city. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. We are in a new move of God that some are calling the New American Revolution or even a new Civil War. George Barna calls it the second coming of the Church Though the Church has lost much of her influence in American culture, there is a remnant rising with a strong voice for life, liberty, and true justice. Many Christians have been afraid to speak out about cultural issues, whether because of fear, not knowing what to say or do, or convinced their role is to simply wait for the rapture. Others have misunderstood the truth of what is really meant about separation of Church and state and so have ignored their responsibility of being a citizen of heaven and of earth But God is calling His people to be bold, be informed, and be involved to bring His love, goodness, and righteousness back to society for the healing of a nation. This book gives powerful key insights into current issues and the spiritual warfare behind them, along with prayer and practical action steps you can take to make a difference for this generation and those to come.…
