Words to Walk By

In a world thats too often divided by race and class, the Church ought to look a little bit different. Chris Rattays book provides a resource for mentorship partners, small groups, and churches who are seeking common ground for understanding Jesus across race, class, and familiarity with the Bible.As we return to Jesuss words in the Sermon on the Mount, all Christiansnew and seasoned, rich and poor, of every ethnic backgroundare reminded of how much learning and growth is before us. Recognizing that were all in the same place before God, Rattay invites us into learn from each others experiences as we face the ever-challenging basics of living for Jesus. Rattays book is loaded with examples from his experience as an inner-city pastor and a cross-class resident of both East Los Angeles and Pasadena, California. Each chapter ends with thoughtful questions that invite everyone to contribute to the conversation about what it means to follow Jesus. It is an ideal book for anyone who wants to follow Christ with their neighbors.
