A Model to Empower Reconciliation and Unity in Fractured Churches

We live in angry times. No matter where we go, what we watch, or how we communicate, our culture is rife with division and polarization.

Unfortunately, Christians appear to be caught up in the same animosity as the culture at large. While our faith calls us to Christian unity, the hard fact remains: our churches are tragically divided across class, ethnic, gender, and political lines. As these social chasms grow--both inside and outside the church--the role of the preacher becomes paramount.

This book issues a prophetic call to pastors to use the influence of their pulpits to promote reconciliation and unity in their churches and communities. It includes:

● a seven-step model that empowers leaders to bring healing and peace to their fractured churches;
● questions for reflection, salient illustrations, and an accountability covenant; and
● useful appendixes on preaching themes, preaching texts, and sample sermons from leading preachers.

"A useful framework to confront the division in our time"

During a time of division and polarization, this book equips faithful pastors to cultivate reconciliation and unity in their churches through their preaching.

"A useful framework to confront the division in our time with preaching grounded in the Bible's story line and founded on the redemptive work of Christ."
--Ed Stetzer, Wheaton College

"A must-read. Get this book and read it with your church staff today!"
--Michelle Ami Reyes, vice president, Asian American Christian Collaborative; author of Becoming All Things

"Kim and Hoffman exhort faithful homileticians to listen to various social perspectives as a means of informing authentic Christian preaching. For the sake of the healing of divided nations everywhere, may all preachers eagerly hear this exhortation with ears of grace."
--Eric C. Redmond, Moody Bible Institute

"In such a polarizing and fractious time, Christian preachers need resources that bridge divides and remind us that God makes a way out of no way. Thankfully, this timely book gives us both."
--Jared E. Alc?ntara, Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University

"If you want a framework for preaching that leads to reconciliation instead of division, this one's for you!"
--Tara Beth Leach, author of Emboldened and Radiant Church

"A stunning, scholarly, current, and critical guide for preachers to take seriously the complexity of preaching in a rapidly changing world."
--Glenn Packiam, lead pastor, New Life Downtown; author of The Resilient Pastor
