Although so many Christians live in multiracial and multicultural
communities, many Christian churches do not reflect the diversity
of their communities. Sunday morning worship remains racially
divided. Multiracial Church Dynamics offers a straightforward
examination of the topic. The strategies to move from uniracial to
multiracial churches are relevant to a broad audience in the
Christian community, pastors and laity alike. The specificity of
the topic and the author's clear viewpoint all contribute to a
clearly presented controlling idea, one that readers will
understand and appreciate. Bishop William H. Willimon writes in the
foreword: "Richard Stryker is not content simply to lament the sad
state of the church to obey Christ's commands and to embody the
reach and the richness of his salvation in our life together. In
this book he offers specific, tested, practical help for pastors
and church leaders who want their congregations to grow and to be
all that God intends."
Forged from Chaos is the inspiring story of a young pastor and
peace activist living in a tragic time in his countrys history. It

the war, Stryker invites us to lift up hope and pursue peace. His
ethical and social reflections are profound. This is a must read
for anyone needing inspiration to face the challenges of daily life
or seeking to understand contemporary Liberia. First published in
2003, this version includes an Afterword on 2011 Liberia.
Large Barns, No Barns and 21st Century Greed intertwines the
theological wisdom of the ages with the challenges of present
reality, low wages and gigantic gap between the superrich and the
poor. Are the teachings of Jesus regarding wealth relevant for our
time? Dr. Stryker answers with an unequivocal yes Those living
well, not so well and the poor will have something to take away
from reading this fresh look at the "story of the rich fool." This
is an insightful book, dealing with both social change and changes
in the lifestyle of the individual.
