A reveling book that deals honestly with the realities of multicultural, multiracial ministry. Excellent reading for the clergy and laity.

In "There's More Than One Color in the Pew" Tony Matthews wrestles with the issues related to multicultural multiracial relationships, specially in the context of a church. Though this has been an urban social reality from the middle of last century, Christians have not adequately grappled with the issues related to ministering in such context. This book addresses some important multiculral multiracial issues and provides with essential practical tools to bring people of different color, races and ethnicity together for the purpose of building up of the body of Christ. The questionaire and keys at the end of every chapter are valuable for educating church members about their conceptions about people of other race and color. This will consequently create an awareness about the multicultural and multiracial ministry. Therefore I recommend that every Christian must read "There's More Than One Color in the Pew."

There's More Than One Color in the Pew is a must read for every pastor or church leader who has a desire to minister across racial and cultural lines. In addition, the book can also be used in corporate America as a guide to understand various barriers that hinder cross-cultural, cross-racial relationships. The practical study guides can be used or adapted to train those in ministry and also those in management. Once you begin reading this book, you will not be able to put it down.
