Answers to the racial tensions of our culture lie within the gospel of Jesus Christ who selflessly unified a multi-ethnic church to Himself and secured for that church reconciliation with God. Unfortunately, many churches are beacons of racial segregation resisting the multi-cultural unity witnessed in the early church (Acts 1:8; 2:5-11). With passion, courage and vulnerability, Scott Williams challenges the church to truly embrace the multi-cultural unity and ministry revealed in the Bible. Is Sunday the most segregated day of your week? Are you and the leadership of your church welcoming men, women and children of other races into your church pews, Bible classes, and places of leadership within your church? Scott Williams offers Church Diversity: Sunday the Most Segregated Day of the Week as a wake-up call and a nudge forward addressing: <ul>
<li>The Elephant in the Pew</li> <li>The Great Omission</li> <li>Corporate America's Example of Unity Amidst Diversity</li> </ul>
Williams doesn't leave the church wallowing in its weaknesses. He offers very basic practices to incorporate in the days ahead. Church planters, leaders and growth experts of different ethnic backgrounds endorse Church Diversity thanking Williams for his great insight and examples of how to move forward to a more biblical church model. Follow Williams' realistic recommendations into a new era of Christ followers standing side by side, hand in hand, worshiping the King . . . regardless of ethnicity.

Product description\nOOP. First printing hardcover.\nFrom Publishers Weekly\nBy now, DC characters have become a kind of repertory company. The trick, for comics creators, is to find roles for them that both exploit their trustworthy familiarity and give them surprising things to do. Loeb (Batman: The Long Halloween) does his bit by supplying a rapidly unfolding plot in which caped crime fighter Batman battles Killer Croc and Poison Ivy. Simultaneously, he's pursuing and lusting after the lusciously amoral Catwoman, whom he teams with in a rousing (though improbably evenly matched) brawl with Superman. Other familiar characters make cameo appearances throughout. But Batman is actually following someone else's script; a mysterious, bandage-swathed observer is toying with him and the others. Readers can guess who this master manipulator is, but the real puzzle is what kind of game he's playing. Loeb is especially talented at underwriting, not crowding the page full of long explanations and snappy patter; after all, readers have known these characters for years. Penciler Lee and inker Williams also know not to overwhelm the action with fussy details: their large panels give plenty of room to let angular, sweeping lines collide in striking designs. It's beautiful stuff. Catwoman has rarely looked so seductive, nor has Batman's heroic but fearsome image often been used so well. This volume-a collection of the first five installments of a 12-part serial-doesn't achieve much emotional closure. Nor does it transform the characters, but that would be unlikely anyway. What it does do is make readers look at Batman and his colleagues with a fresh, enthusiastic eye. 
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.\nFrom Booklist\nLate last year, DC revitalized one of its major franchises when it assigned 
Batman to Jim Lee, one of the hottest comics artists, and Jeph Loeb, an equally popular scripter. The pair's first five issues, collected here, pit the crimefighter against two classic foes, Killer Croc and Poison Ivy, and later bring in DC's other big gun when Batman follows Ivy's trail to Metropolis, where he confronts Superman. Lee's dynamic, detailed, often overwrought art provides the excitement and drama superhero fans demand, and Loeb's combination of fast-paced action and deft characterization is equally crowd-pleasing. Despite the hype and the huge sales the Loeb-Lee series has enjoyed, it is essentially a just-above-average superhero saga that lacks the thoughtfulness of Loeb's reimaginings of Superman's and Daredevil's early years. Moreover, Lee's art lacks the innovation of such previous Batman limners as, most notably, Frank Miller in the Dark Knight series. Nonetheless, this is solid genre work, whose popularity in its original monthly installments guarantees an eager audience for this hardcover roundup.
