The Christian life is many things, so it can be hard to know how
exactly we should live it. Training is a guide to show new
Christians just that-how you should live and grow. Walking through
the basic spiritual disciplines, Training uses short stories to
show how you can love God and your neighbor. What does it look like
to follow Jesus, listen to God, talk to God, love your spiritual
family and love the lost? That's what this book is all about.
Conversations about racism are as important as they are hard for
American Christians. Yet the conversation often gets so ugly, even
among the faithful who claim unity in Jesus. Why is that the case?
Why does it matter? Can things get better, or are we permanently
divided? In this honest and hopeful book, pastor Isaac Adams
doesn't just show you how to have the race conversation, he begins
it for you. By offering a fictional, racially charged tragedy in
order to understand varying perspectives and responses, he examines
what is at stake if we ignore this conversation, and why there's
just as much at stake in how we have that discussion, especially
across color lines--that is, with people of another ethnicity. This
unique approach offers insight into how to listen to one another
well and seek unity in Christ. Looking to God's Word, Christians
can find wisdom to speak gracefully and truthfully about racism for
the glory of God, the good of their neighbors, and the building up
of the church. Some feel that the time for talking is over, and
that we've heard all this before. But given how polarized American
society is becoming--its churches not exempt--fresh attention on
the dysfunctional communication between ethnicities is more than
warranted. Adams offers an invitation to faithfully combat the
racism so many of us say we hate and maintain the unity so many of
us say we want. Together we can learn to speak in such a way that
we show a divided world a different world. Talking About Race
points to the starting line, not the finish line, when it comes to
following Jesus amid race relations. It's high time to begin
running.
