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 is a weaving of stories of real people and real events in a country torn by civil strife and civil war. Despite the tragic nature of 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.
