I am extremely excited about the book 'What Color Is Your God?'. It is an excellent read that is simple enough for the general populous to comprehend and sophisticated enough for the scholarly to appreciate. The book truly changed my behavior, my thinking and my world view concerning race relations within the church and the society-at-large. Ireland gave a comprehensive argument on how the Church should reflect the Kingdom of God in it's ethnic diversity. 'What Color Is Your God?' should be required reading for all leadership and laity within the church in order to offer true healing and reconciliation to a racially divided world.

I feel that I am a harsh critic in that I have read MANY books on multi-ethnic ministry in North America. Yet, I wholeheartedly recommend "What Color is Your God?". One of the things that impresses me the most is that Ireland has done such a great job of balancing these three elements: scholarly content; practical insight; and Biblical exposition. I am the type who freely breaks out my yellow underliner when I find a very good book, especially a book that does not merely repeat what other authors have already said. Needless to say, my copy of "What Color is Your God?" looks very yellow!
