DOING RECONCILIATION
by Alexander Venter

Doing Reconciliation - Doing Reconciliation is a comprehensive study (406 pages) about the urgent need to dismantle racism and work for reconciliation in both the church and world. It is about making peace between people, groups and structures, and building an environment of mutual respect, human rights and Shalom (the Hebrew concept for God's societal harmony, order, blessing and prosperity).

Timothy Keller

International Shipping Not Available

Recommendation from Bert Waggoner - Vineyard USA National Director:
"Should the church be involved in issues of social justice? This is the question Tim Keller responds to in Generous Justice. In a period of history when social justice has been politicized, Tim refuses to join the rhetoric of politicians and pundits. Rather, he very carefully defines what the Bible has to say. He clearly takes a position that will make both sides of the political spectrum unhappy, as any true prophetic word would. His only concern is to be faithful to the Bible and the tradition of the church, and to let the chips fall where they may. I strongly encourage Vineyard leaders to read Generous Justice."

Publisher's Notes:
It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn't it full of regressive views? Didn't it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance on how to have a more just society? But Timothy Keller sees it another way. In Generous Justice, Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice. Here is a book for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence in the world.

In the last four decades, desegregation has revolutionized almost every aspect of life in the United States: schools, businesses, government offices, even entertainment. But there is one area that remains largely untouched, and that is the church. Now comes a major new call for multiracial congregations in every possible setting--a call that is surprisingly controversial, even in the twenty-first century.

Racial and ethnic hostility is one of the most pervasive problems the church faces. It hinders our effectiveness as one body of believers. It damages our ability to witness to and serve seekers.

Why won't this problem just go away?

Because it is a spiritual battle.

What should our response be in a world torn apart by prejudice, hatred and fear?

We must employ spiritual weapons--prayer, repentance, forgiveness.

How I Changed My Mind About Women in Leadership [Book]

Women's Task Force Recommendation

This book features a number of autobiographical accounts as to how various persons have come to change their minds about women in leadership. Well-known Evangelical leaders—individuals and couples, males and females from a broad range of denominational affiliation and ethnic diversity—share their surprising journeys from a more or less restrictive view to an open inclusive view that recognizes a full shared partnership of leadership in the home and in the ministries of the church based on gifts not gender. This book offers a positive vision for the future of women and men together as partners of equal worth without competitiveness in the work of equipping this and the next generation of Christian disciples for ‘the work of ministry’ and service in the Kingdom of God.
