The percentage of individuals in the United States who are not European is increasing each year. Given this growing racial diversity there is a dire need for congregations that can reach racially mixed populations. But many ministers have no idea as to how this can be done. This book was written to help those who will to racially diversify their churches by reaching out to those of different races.

The information found in this book is based upon the cutting edge Lilly study of multiracial congregations. As a co-researcher of that study George Yancey is able to identify successful multiracial churches and then to find out why they have succeeded. In doing so he is able to discover the principles that not only have lead to the success of these churches but can also help other Christians to reach those of different races. This book discusses those principles in an engaging and readable manner so that Christians can be equipped to develop ministries to people of more than one racial/ethnic group.

This book is invaluable for those who are currently in multiracial churches and want to learn how to maintain your racial diversity. It also can be used by those who want to start racially integrated churches. While the book may be the most helpful to the leaders of congregations that desire to racially diversify, it has also been used for bible study material for interested laity or church planting teams that are serious about reaching our entire nation for Christ.
