We live in a diverse world filled with unprecedented opportunity.
According to author Eric Michael Bryant in Not Like Me, formerly
titled Peppermint-Filled Pinatas, we can become agents of change
creating genuine unity among people from a variety of backgrounds
and belief systems through our relationships. Through humorous
stories and pointed insights gleaned from Eric's own personal
experiences and failures, the experiences of others, and the life
and teachings of Jesus, you will discover how to move beyond
ethnic, racial, cultural, or ideological barriers towards genuine
friendship with others. In our nation, an "uncivil war" is raging.
Liberals call for racial reconciliation and tolerance while
conservatives tend to hide from our pluralistic world or fight
against it. None of these approaches will last. We need to create a
new future that connects to God's heart. We can remove the
religious baggage of Christianity to discover the world Jesus
intended. Followers of Christ will be inspired to actively engage
the world in order to overcome stereotypes placed upon us and
influence those who have not been interested in Jesus because of
these stereotypes. In addition, spiritual seekers will find that
when stripped away from the religion created around him, Jesus'
dream for our world is remarkable and refreshing. In this new
world, we can discover how to resolve conflict, overcome
bitterness, create a better future, develop diverse communities,
and enjoy our diverse world. Not Like Me also includes a brief
article after each chapter with practical ways to apply the
principles presented in that chapter. The contributors include: Ed
Stetzer, Amena Brown, Margaret Feinberg, Kevin Harney, Dr. Gerardo
Marti, Kim Martinez, Lon Wong, Mark DeYmaz, Princess Zulu, Dan
Kimball, and Erwin McManus (Foreword).
