African American Catholics, though small in number and historically the targets of racial intolerance, are now the backbone of the church. The vast majority of African American Catholics do not perceive racial marginalization and intolerance in the church. African American Catholics are among the strongest religious identifiers in the church, while whites show a more fragile Catholic identity. The Catholic church may have finally overcome its racist past for the vast majority of African American Catholics, but serious concerns remain for white Catholics. Based on data from a national religion survey, this book explores religious attitudes from an African American Catholic perspective.

So you're thinking about becoming a Christian minister. Think again. Try to talk yourself out of it, but if you cannot, proceed with caution, depending on God at every step. It has been wisely said that "ministry is messy." It can be and usually is. Here is the record of a minister's fifty-year experience in six congregations, four of them in New England, once the home of the Great Awakening and now called stony ground. Follow the author through three very serious challenges and read his suggestions borne out of heartbreak and trial, leading to progress for God's kingdom. Fasten your seat belts, dear reader.

The gates of hell shall not prevail. Decimated by war, revolution, and famine, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Russia was in critical condition in 1921. In The Gates of Hell, Matthew Heise recounts the bravery and suffering of German--Russian Lutherans during the period between the two great world wars. These stories tell of ordinary Christians who remained faithful to death in the face of state persecution. Christians in Russia had dark days characterized by defeat, but God preserved his church. Against all human odds, the church would outlast the man--made sandcastles of communist utopianism. The Gates of Hell is a wonderful testimony to the enduring power of God's word, Christ's church, and the Spirit's faithfulness.
