Missio Alliance Essential Reading List of 2015 We can see the injustice and inequality in our lives and in the world. We are ready to rise up. But how; exactly; do we do this? How does one reconcile? What we need is a clear sense of direction. Based on her extensive consulting experience with churches; colleges and organizations; Rev. Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil has created a roadmap to show us the way. She guides us through the common topics of discussion and past the bumpy social terrain and political boundaries that will arise. In these pages she voices her call to all believers: "It's time for the followers of Jesus to embark on the prophetic journey that leads to reconciliation and transformation around the world. Many of us may already be aware of the need for reconciliation in our own backyards. . . . We cannot ignore the plight of the people around us and as globalization continues its relentless march onward; we cannot turn a blind eye to the world at large either. We have to face the realities here at home and we must also embrace the stories of people all around the world." Each chapter lays out the next step in the journey. With reflection questions and exercises at the end of each chapter; it's ideal to read together with your church or organization. If you are ready to take the next step into unity; wholeness and justice; then this is the book for you.

If you want to know more about the political history of the holy land look no further.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. It does have some good chronology.By Little AlNot that impressed with this book. It is difficult to tell whether the writer is a Christian or just an historian. There is a lack of details regarding God's promises and the land of Israel. It does have some good chronology.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. a dull reviewBy CrawfordI was hoping for much more insight (as I've loved some of his other books); but I'm halfway through and it's basically a rather tiresome review of the historical information in the Old Testament with a few irritating; inaccurate and pedestrian queries thrown in (ie; his implication that the Israelites were inconsistent in their rejection the golden calf while accepting cherubim on the ark - uh...no). After falling asleep a billion times trying to read this; I have put it down in search of a more penetrating and better written book on the history of Israel. I give it 3 stars; as there may be some who just want something just a bit more involved than spark notes to familiarize themselves with this history.
