Product Description
Recipient of a Christianity Today 1994 Critics Choice Award!Here is living proof that white and black Christians can live together.When Spencer Perkins was sixteen years old, he visited his bloodied and swollen father (pastor John Perkins) in jail. Police had beaten the black activist severely, and Spencer never forgot the moment. He couldn't imagine living in community with a white person after that. But his plans were changed.Chris Rice grew up in very different circumstances, of "Vermont Yankee stock," attending an elite Eastern college and looking forward to a career in law and government. But his plans were changed.Spencer and Chris became not only friends, but yokefellows--partners for more than a decade in the difficult ministry of racial reconciliation. From their own hard-won experience, they show that there is hope for our frightening race problem, that whites and African-Americans can live together in peace.This revised and expanded edition includes a new introduction, a new afterword, a new study guide, updated resources and a new chapter by Spencer, "Playing the Grace Card." In compellingly practical detail, Chris and Spencer present their hope, which is boldly and radically Christian. "The cause of racial reconciliation needs yokefellows," they argue, ". . . not solely for the sake of racial harmony--even though it will lead to that--but for the witness of the gospel." ...

5-0 out of 5 stars More Than Equals
The most amazing and life-changing book I have read in the past several years!!I realized that when I am silent and passive about racism, then I am promoting it, and I have since asked forgiveness of and reconciled with some of my African American friends.The authors were incredibly honest about the issues on both sides of racism and about the need of the church to step up and be a fore-runner in reconciliation.I can't thank Spencer and Chris enough for their work.....I'm sad that Spencer is not with us any more to continue in this minsitry, though I understand that God knows best.I hope and pray that Chris will find another partner in the reconciliation ministry.

5-0 out of 5 stars Play the Grace Card
The revised editon of "More Than Equals" updates this provocative work telling the story of Caucasian Chris Rice and African American John Perkins. Different by race and culture, God bond them together in ministry. Their developing relationship provides a path that all Christian can follow for healthy cross-cultural relationships.

Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction , Soul Physicians, and Spiritual Friends.

5-0 out of 5 stars Life changing
This is the book that began everything for me. Okay, so I was already living in the city--I had moved in as poor college student--but I hated it. I wanted to move out of the hood as soon as possible. Reading this book convicted me of God's calling in my life to embrace the city as my home--and to love my neighbor as myself.

I read this book just in time; shortly after, I was raped in my home while my husband was gone to a meeting at church and my children were asleep in the room next to me. I wouldn't have made it through that trial without having been deeply rooted in the awareness of God's will for me.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not as Relevant
What I'm about to say may be conflicting, but I believe this from what I've seen.Although that reconciliation was much needed in previous years, it has become something else today.Rather than reconciliation between blacks, whites, and all races, it seems that today it is more about pronouncing who you are and what race you're from, making yourself seem a little more ambitious than you'd like.
Coming from a Mexican cultured background, racial issues arise only when, well, racial issues are brought up.People need to realize that true unity won't happen until we stop looking at people by a certain race.This book tries to emphasize the importance of keeping close to your culture and how strange it is to integrate to another, when in reality it's not as strange as it really is.
Marrying people from other national backgrounds is not bad; congregating with other churches of different backgrounds is not bad either; black and white Christians can live together.We don't really need proof.It's not as relevant as it once was.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Civil Rights Movement has run its course...?
This was a required text for one of my graduate courses and I didn't expect to enjoy it much. It wasn't far into the book that I began to resonate with some of the struggles for racial harmony articulated by Perkins and Rice.

In Chapter 1, Spencer Perkins states emphatically, "The Civil Rights Movement has run its course, and we've gotten just about all you can expect to get from a political movement." I, a white guy, took offense at the thought that someone would declare the struggle for civil rights obsolete. His point is well made through the development of this and subsequent chapters. The move toward reconciliation must move from race to grace.

Regardless of your religious affiliations, if you are engaged in civil rights causes or racial reconciliation you would be remiss to neglect this ground-breaking tome.

3-0 out of 5 stars Through doubts and fears tounexpected grace in church
Mike Yaconelli, Stories of Emergence: Moving from Absolute to Authentic (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2003)

Reviewed by Darren Cronshaw

This is a collection of stories about Christians moving on from previously-held convictions, through their doubts and fears, to new senses of community, spiritual formation, and unexpected grace. For example, Mike Yaconelli describes his transformation from preoccupation with efficiency, pretending and doing to being real and free to 'frolic in God's presence'. Tony Jones the youth pastor discovered he was really an event manager, and so reinvented his ministry with contemplative prayer and intergenerational community. A former fundamentalist, former Pentecostal, former liberal, former communist, former feminist and others describe their crises and discoveries about faith, worldview or ministry. Experience of this sort of `emergence' can be disconcerting but is almost inevitable for Christians as they mature and as they grapple with the changing context of postmodernity. More stories are collecting at [...] , where you can add your story as well. And look out for the growing list of emergentYS books (which publishes on emerging church and culture).

This review originally appeared in Darren Cronshaw, `The Emerging Church: Introductory Reading Guide', Zadok Papers, S143 (Summer 2005).

5-0 out of 5 stars PASTORS/PEW MEMBERS BARE THEIR SOULS
Not knowing much about post-modern thinking, I found EMERGENCE informative and interesting as various writers bared their souls, telling their frustrations with the way church is usually done. Much of what they said, I could resonate with.

Most of the writers appeared to be in the experimental stage of trying to discover a more meaningful way to connect with fellow church attendees and the world at large. However, for me, Jo-Anne Badley articulated the best solution.
She is a Baptist, teaching Biblical Theology in Newman Theological College in Canada, a Catholic institution.

She discusses the modern church at length then goes on to say that "the post modern world looks like the same dissonance I have always known..." What she fears is an arrogance that assumes you know the truth, that you are like God, is always a danger, whether that arrogance is found in individuals or communities."

"In all this dislocation I expect to experience unusual grace. My responsibility is to faithfulness, so that I recognize grace even when it comes in unusual forms. Measured amounts of food cooked on cow dung. Or a vision of a temple. Or a Jesuit priest. Or my female body. Laugh. God makes good jokes."

Betty L. Sheldon, author of OMNIPIECE

2-0 out of 5 stars Stories of Grace
The multi-authored Stories of Emergence showcases personal stories of church disillusionment and suspicion with the institutionalised, doctrine-oriented church, out of which emerges (you knew I was going to use this word, right?) new thinking and (perceived) authenticity in spirituality and the understanding of what this whole 'God' thing is about.

For the book's sake, it probably isn't a good idea to read all the stories at one go. Treat it like Dilbert and make it a friend for a time-out. Two stories max per reading should suffice.

And there are some good ones. The story I started with, Frederica Mathewes-Green's chastisement her earlier feminist attitudes, was one of the best, for me:

"It's not what feminists say, but how they it...An attitude of self-righteousness. A tendency to pull rank as a victim. A lack of humility. A blindness to the fact that women, just as talented as men, are just as sinful too. Smugness, touchiness, judgmentalism, and even darkner notes of condescension, ridicule, and anger toward men.

"Pretty much the opposite of every line in 1 Corinthians 13. My brothers and sisters, 'you have not so learned Christ' (Ephesians 4:20)" (p.134)

I also enjoyed Tony Jones sharing of his character-shaping encounters with people like James McClendon, Nancey Pearcey and Miroslav Volf. It's strikingly coincidental how barely a few hours after I first heard the word 'liminal' during a meeting, I saw it again in Jones' essay, talking about liminal times - the "thin times, the border times when we're in the midst of cultural change". (p.66)

Todd Hunter's piece brought back some cute memories of friends telling me about the un-Christian it was to have drums in church(!). And how can I not resonate with Spencer Burke's paragraph on spiritual McCarthyism:

"In today's evangelical world, one of the worst things you can be called is liberal. Challenge an accepted belief or confess doubt and you're the equivalent of a card-carrying communist. Brows furrow. Eyes narrow. Lips purse." (p.30)

Brian McLaren echoes this tension when he writes in his afterword:

"(Can) the gatekeepers of modern evangelicalism see these brothers and sisters as resources, pioneers, a research-and-development wing of the movement...or will they see them as a threat?" (p.224)

I also suspect God planned it such that I had to be at an unfamiliar section of town at 5.30 in the morning (after dropping my dad off at the bus station), drinking coffee and reading these words by Chris Seay, "Jesus understood that it's not only the truth that changes us, but also the journey of seeking truth."

This book isn't for those who want some idea on how to "move forward" in one's walk and ministry with Christ. It'd be a mistake to take any one story and say, "That's how I/we should progress". Unless I'm completely mistaken, the very idea of progress isn't even a category in emergent thought.

There are no "doctrines" in the book, no new theology, no new "synthesis of ideas" and what-nots. This will undoubtedly leave the reader with the impression that the authors care more about praxis than about doctrine (eliciting, as much of Emergent output has, the occasional remonstrance). They probably do.

In an experimental mode, getting things right is less important than doing as many helpful things as you can. And there's really no other to explain this - except maybe via stories?

Thus, I read these essays - some were dull (because predictable), some sad, most were fun - and emerged (there we go again) a more hopeful person. Hopeful because God does not does not does NOT require super-holy, all-doctrine-knowing perfection from us prior to giving us His joy and using us as conduits of his love.

The stories of emergence are stories of grace.

Note: Don't treat the two-star rating as implying that I'm not *recommending* it. I am. Sorta. It's just that I don't think it need be all that high up on one's "to-read" list. It's a good book to have but there are lots of better stuff out there.

3-0 out of 5 stars Emergence: The Step Child of the Seeker Movement
STORIES OF EMERGENCE is a collection of stories (or conversations as they like to put it) of "former" evangelicals who have walked away from ministries and institutional Christianity to embrace post-modern Christianity that focuses on being authentic followers of Jesus Christ than on just being absolute (right).

The stories vary since each person has their own unique background but the common thread is an utter dissatisfaction with popular Christianity as given to us by the evangelical church.The writers tell their stories of not losing faith in God while losing faith in the modern church.The stories range from bizarre trails to simply being influenced by such emergence leaders as Brian McLaren to former PTL's son Jay Bakker.

The positives of this book are:
- A good division of the book.Editor Mike Yaconelli did a good job of breaking the book into divisions such as stories of ministry crisis, stories of worldview crisis, and stories of faith crisis.
- Short, fast paced stories.The stories are not boring to read (even if you disagree with them).They move quickly and each writer does a good job of staying focused on their subject.
- Issues that the Church must address.The book does present several key issues that we must present from the Bible.Only Scripture can help us to work through the problems of modern modernity.

Problems with the book:
- Lack of theological substance.While the book is a book of stories, the book lacks Scripture.In fact, the authority of the Bible is never addressed.The emergence movement seems to want to throw Scripture out the window and yet still be Christians.How can this be?The Bible is where we learn about Jesus (John 20:31) and the Bible alone is the truth (John 17:17).The stories lacked truth.They were filled with common themes of experience ("I don't like the church because of this") but no biblical proof.
- Too experience driven.Feeding off the above, the emergence movement seems to be more about common experiences and not sound doctrine.However, experience must flow from Scripture (1 Timothy 4:16; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-22) lest we be deceived (1 John 4:1-2).Experience is no basis for truth.Only the Bible is able to save our souls (James 1:21).As a disciple of Jesus, I must hold to His word (John 8:31-32).
- Shallow view of sin.From homosexuals to drugs, the emergence movement has a shallow view of sin.In fact Mike Yaconelli admits that he has spoken about sin in the Church only twice in 12 years (p.18)!The book even says that homosexuality might not be a sin (pp.30-31).How did they embrace this world-view?Not from Scripture (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rev. 21:8)!This is what happens when the Bible is not your authority.How do we expose man's need for Jesus without first addressing our depraved nature?

Conclusion:
The emergence movement has grown out of the seeker movement which has come from the charismatic movement which came from the Pentecostal movement.What do all these movements have in common?Experience as the basis for fellowship.If anyone tries to critique the movements based on the Word of God, they are often viewed as a Pharisee or a Puritan.I for one believe we need to hold firmly to the Bible despite our changing culture.God does not change (Numbers 23:19; Malachi 2:10) and neither does His Word (Psalm 119:89).I will not embrace the philosophies of Hume or Blaine over the Word of God but if I did then I would be heading down the emergence movement road.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Stories we find ourselves in.
I have a love hate thing going on with the emergent church. I love the critique of modernity and willow creek, but I sometimes wonder what positve contribution emergent people have brought to the dialogue. It is easier to tear down than destroy. But this is not a negative book. Not even a little. The people in this book are all very cultural engaged. And are all very diverse, and they focus on their story.

You don't get the same boring rehash of where the enlightenment got us, and what to do about it analysis. These stories have a more personal dimension to them. Every person writing decided what ways they should engage the culture in their context. There is nothing formulaic about it.

If I have one criticism, it is that I wish a few other authors were included. But that doesn't mean what others offered will be found wanting. Excellent book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Space Adventure in Another Galaxy
This is one of the Christian sci-fi books that I loved as a pre-teen.The back cover reads, "Nobody seems to know what's happened to him.Until two days ago his signal was coming through loud and clear, and then he... he just vanished!Zak Anderson, aged sixteen and a newly qualified space pilot, is determined to find his father -- missing in unexplored space.By a strange accident Zak and his friends find themselves in a far-off galaxy, on an unknown planet.."

The planet "Terran" is what Earth would have been like without The Fall.Zak's space ship brings a copy of the Bible in its library, and they use it to expose the enemy in the new garden of Eden.

Though written in 1984, the story line has not grown dusty and the "science fiction" aspect is still palatable.A fun adventure for children, with a clear presentation of the Gospel. ... Read more

Shawn Wayans (star of the hit prime-time WB Network Television show The Wayans Bros.), Chris Spencer (host of the upcoming national late night talk show Vibe), and Suli McCullough (up-and-coming comedian, actor, writer) bring their lively brand of humor to the page in a book sure to tickle city- and country-bound alike.More than a place, the authors remind us, "ghetto" is a state of mind; "If Hillary Clinton ever picked up Chelsea from school with rollers in her hair...guess what?The First Lady be ghetto."

Among other ways to tell if you're ghetto:

  • You can read your haircut
  • You throw a pool party at the fire hydrant
  • You buy pagers to match your outfits
  • You go to church just to pick up women
  • Your fingernails are longer than your fingers
  • You have a car phone and no car
  • You take a bubble bath with dishwashing liquid
  • You get into a fistfight while you're pregnant
  • You missed the birth of your child because you were playing Sega
  • You named your daughters after cars you can't afford ... Read more

You keep on laughin' (holding your stomach) til everything aches.THEN YOU PUT THE BOOK DOWN!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Pretty good
    I was surprised at how good this book was, simply because of the authors. When I think about funny jokes I usually don't think of Chris Spencer (the original host of the short-lived Vibe show) and I sure don't think of Shawn Wayans. But most of the jokes in this book are actually pretty funny, with the exception of a few that make absolutely no sense (for example, "You know you're ghetto if you missed the birth of your child because you were playing Sega.") The funniest part of the book, though, has to be the back cover, where Damon Wayans pops up and says, "You're ghetto if you read this entire book in the store and don't buy it." Jokes like this are pretty out of style now, but this book was good for the late `90s.

Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: David Ronald "Ronnie" Musgrove (born July 29, 1956) is an American politician who was the Democratic Lieutenant Governor from 1996 to 2000 and the 62nd Governor from 2000 to 2004 of the U.S. state of Mississippi. He was recently defeated by incumbent Senator Roger Wicker for one of Mississippi's seats in the U.S. Senate. A native of Tocowa, Mississippi, Musgrove grew up in the nearby city of Batesville. When Musgrove was seven years old, his father, a road crew worker with the Mississippi Highway Department, caught pneumonia while laboring during a record snowstorm and died. His mother worked at a Fruit of the Loom factory, tended a half-acre garden and raised him and his four siblings by herself. After attending Northwest Mississippi Community College, the University of Mississippi, Musgrove went to the University of Mississippi School of Law, where he became friends with fellow law student, future Mississippi House of Representatives member and future author John Grisham. Grisham would later campaign for Musgrove in each of his races for Lt. Governor, Governor and U.S. Senate. In 1977 Musgrove married his wife Melanie. In 2001, while he was in office, Musgrove and his wife, Melanie (Ballard), divorced after 24 years of marriage. The results and settlement of the divorce were sealed by the judge at the request of the Musgroves. Musgrove married Dr. Melody Bounds on August 4, 2007. The Musgroves are members of First Baptist Church Jackson. They have four children ranging in age from 19 to 24. Before being elected Governor, Musgrove was a two-term state senator and Lieu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=215940 ... Read more
