The new normal -- "Why do you talk about race so much?" -- part 1. The bible in color: A family for Abraham ; Jesus the barrier breaker and family maker ; The birth of God's multiethnic family ; Paul and the early Church -- part 2. Color-blessed discipleship: A hole in our discipleship ; Trust the supremacy of Christ ; Engage in difficult conversations ; Collectively mourn injustice ; Display gospel character ; Affirm the reconciler's creed -- Conclusion: Passing the torch.
"The good news is that the Bible has a lot to say about how to heal our persistent racial divides. In this book, popular Bible teacher Derwin Gray walks us through Scripture, showing us the heart of God--how God from the beginning envisioned a reconciled multiethnic family in loving community, reflecting his beauty and healing presence in the world. This message is central to the gospel itself. After reading this book, you won't read the Bible the same way again--and you'll want to walk through this eye-opening scriptural journey with your friends or small group. As founding pastor of Transformation Church, a multiethnic church located in the Charlotte metro area, Derwin knows firsthand the hurdles and challenges to the reconciliation that Scripture commands. That is why he carefully outlines in this book how to establish color-blessed discipleship in your own church" -- Back cover.
