Reviews
More Than Equals reminds us that grace is the most powerful expression of God's love. It inspires us to move toward others, affirming the dignity of all human beings, and challenges us to be reconcilers in a deeply broken world. We need this book today more than ever., This wonderful book has lost none of its power or inspiration from when it was first published. Interracial friendship may be the most important Christian witness today. Perkins and Rice show us how it is done--with all its struggles, misunderstandings, and the supreme joy that comes from walking alongside another in God's service. I recommend this book to everyone who lives in the hope of God's kingdom., Living into the reality that Jesus has broken down the dividing wall of hostility is not easy in the United States, where the racist roots are deep and systemic. Perkins and Rice offer honest, painful, and courageous stories in the hard work of dismantling racism. More Than Equals is a clarion call to embody Christian discipleship and subversive love that is as relevant now as it was when it was written thirty years ago., In this era of reconciliation fatigue and disillusionment, this book calls its readers to the foundational truth of Christian reconciliation. Through the compelling story of the authors, the book reminds us that racial reconciliation is essentially a lifelong journey of discipleship, a journey that calls us each to die to ourself every day so that we might embrace others more radically through Christ., When Christians truly love and respect one another across racial, ethnic, and social divisions, the truth and power of the gospel are revealed. Although church and society are not in the same place as we were several decades ago, many of the struggles and insights shared by Perkins and Rice have a timeless quality to them. The illuminating stories, cultural analysis, biblical teaching, and personal experiences the authors share continue to make this a profoundly inspiring and important book., More Than Equals reminds us that grace is the most powerful expression of God's love. It inspires us to move toward others, affirming the dignity of all human beings, and challenges us to be reconcilers in a deeply broken world. We need this book today more than ever., Perkins and Rice exhibit a relationship that in itself proves the chasm between white and black Christians need not remain. . . . Many works have dealt with the reality of racial disunity in the church, but this [book] offers proven solutions.

Synopsis
Telling the stories of Spencer Perkins and Chris Rice as they served together in an intentionally multiracial ministry, this landmark book offers an example of how racial reconciliation is possible--and also critical to Christian discipleship. With biblical grounding, hopeful realism, and practical detail, this new edition is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection., "The first step in the reconciliation process," Spencer Perkins writes, "is admitting that the race problem exists and that our inability to deal with race has weakened the credibility of our gospel."When longtime ministry partners and friends Spencer Perkins and Chris Rice began writing More Than Equals in the early 1990s, their goal was to offer an example of how racial reconciliation is possible--and also critical to Christian discipleship. This landmark book tells the stories of two men from very different backgrounds embarking on the complex, costly journey of healing across racial divides.Perkins, who witnessed repeated hypocrisy from white Christians and witnessed his bloodied pastor-activist father after a brutal police beating, wondered how it was possible to love white people. Rice, who grew up as a white missionary kid and thought of himself as progressive, was surprised by the tensions he encountered as a volunteer at a majority-black church--and by his own blind spots. As they served together in an intentionally multiracial ministry, both gained insight into why this work is so challenging and how Christians can do it well, in dependence on God.With biblical grounding, hopeful realism, and practical detail, More Than Equals provides a helpful framework for Christians engaged in the deep ongoing surgery of racial healing. Now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, this edition includes a new preface by Rice and a study guide for group discussion., "The first step in the reconciliation process," Spencer Perkins writes, "is admitting that the race problem exists and that our inability to deal with race has weakened the credibility of our gospel."

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
