paperbackMinistering in Honor-Shame Cultures
Biblical Foundations and Practical Essentials
by Jayson Georges and Mark D. Baker

Christians always exist within particular cultural contexts—political systems, geographic locations, and ethnic and racial communities. How should Christians engage with the surrounding culture, and what is the church's role in society? What does Christian political engagement look like? How do believers practice their faith around the world, and how can we all process our racial and ethnic identities? The books here will help you wrestle with these complex questions and more, especially within the realm of evangelicalism.
