"There's plenty here to instruct and inspire pastors and church study groups."--Publishers WeeklyToo often, what we call "peace" in our churches and communities is really just shal low unity--while below the surface, division is growing.But what if true Christian unity embraces differences instead of erasing them?In False Peace, Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez helps us recognize shallow approaches to unity that are rooted in colonialism and comfort. Through her pastoral wisdom, you'll learn to ● reject the surface-level uniformity that has crept into Christian culture, ● embrace courageous conversations that reflects God's heart, and● build diverse communities of resilient love.Because unity doesn't erase difference or dismiss theology--it's transformed by them. If we want to radically transform the church and our witness in a fractured world, we must celebrate God's beautiful design to create a people centered on oneness rather than sameness.Whether you're a weary believer, a bridge-builder, or a church leader seeking change, False Peace shows you that we can actually be unified; in fact, we ought to be. It includes a foreword by Phylicia Masonheimer and discussion questions and prayers at the end of each chapter. Show more
