Heart Of Racial Justice Bible Study
$12.00Add to cartFor Christians, pursuing racial justice and reconciliation begins with following Scripture and the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Transformation starts in each individual and community as we ask God to give us new eyes and hearts. These five studies, adapted by Steve Tamayo, are based on the groundbreaking book The Heart of Racial Justice by Brenda Salter McNeil and Rick Richardson. By focusing on key New Testament passages, readers will learn how the early church engaged with issues of reconciliation and how we can commit ourselves to discipleship, reading, prayer, community, and witness in alignment with God’s call. As companions to the IVP Signature Collection, IVP Signature Bible Studies help individuals and groups explore and apply biblical truths found in classic books. Each session features quotations from The Heart of Racial Justice matched with Scripture passages, reflection questions, and application ideas that will equip readers to connect the text to their own lives. A leader’s guide and list of suggested resources are also included.

Heart Of Racial Justice
$18.00Add to cartRacial and ethnic hostility is one of the most pervasive problems the church faces.
It hinders our effectiveness as one body of believers. It damages our witness. Why won’t this problem just go away? Because it is a spiritual battle. What should our response be in a world torn apart by prejudice, hatred, and fear? We must employ spiritual weapons–prayer, repentance, forgiveness. In this book Brenda Salter McNeil and Rick Richardson reveal a model of racial reconciliation, social justice, and spiritual healing that creates both individual and community transformation. Read this book if you want to learn how to:
*use your faith as a force for change, not as a smoke screen for self-protection
*embrace your true self and renounce false racial identities
*receive and extend forgiveness as an act of racial reconciliation
*experience personal transformation through the healing of painful racial memories
*engage in social action by developing ongoing crosscultural partnershipsThis classic is now part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press.
