One But Not the Same: God's Diverse Kingdom Come Through Race, Class, and Gender

America is dreadfully divided over politics, race, gender, and class. Unfortunately, the church isn't much better. Galatians 3:28 states, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Paul gives us the kingdom paradigm for how Christians can be one without being the same. 
 Serious learners and people intent on changing the status quo will find sound, biblical perspectives and real life examples to guide them. Readers will discover:
<ul>
<li>How people of different races can come together, moving beyond superficiality 
</li>
<li>Why women should be empowered to lead in the local church 
</li>
<li>How Christians can be one without being the same politically 
</li>
<li>What God says about wealthy and poor Christians empowering each other </li>
</ul> This book boldly addresses the topics Christians keep avoiding. But get ready. God's Diverse Kingdom is coming on earth as it is in heaven!

Parenting & Relationships

What do NBA superstar Steph Curry, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, have in common? They all found out that ultimate success comes through the power of relationships. By themselves they were limited, but by adding mentors to their lives and enterprises they were unlimited! Mentoring is the new human “hack,” like spark notes for your life! Think of your journey this way, when you’re in your 20’s and 30’s intentionally seek out mentors over 40 who can help you dream, gain confidence and think through life altering decisions. Then when you’re in your 40’s and 50’s do the same in reverse, pursue mentors under 40 in order to stay socially relevant, industry knowledgeable and physically fit. Mentors help you pinpoint ideal paths to pursue in life and work. The 40:40 Principle gives you the roadmap to finding life-changing mentors. Mentoring with The 40:40 Principle is needed now more than ever because most people underestimate how the seasons of their lives can dramatically influence their success. - Steve Stagner Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board, Mattress Firm There is a myriad of wealth within the pages of this book. The challenge that faces us all is whether we can continue to settle for “sameness.” Andy encourages us all to tap into the unmined resources of “people” so that we can tip the scales of wisdom and experience in favor of fulfilling our purpose while at the same time living a richer and joyous life. -Lisa Arrindell Anderson Actress, Law and Order, and Madea’s Family Reunion
