Alex McManus   /     IMN Central - Eric Bryant "Not Like Me"

Summary

Join Alex McManus for interviews with activists and missional thought leaders from around the world. Author Eric Bryant wrote the book "Not Like Me: A Field Guide for Influencing a Diverse World" helps people of faith effectively love, serve, and reach people overlooked by the church. Published by Zondervan, Not Like Me is a revised, re-titled, and updated version of Peppermint-Filled Pinatas. Not Like Me includes a brief article after each chapter with practical ways to apply the principles presented in that chapter. From the Back Cover: We live in a diverse world filled with unprecedented opportunity. There is a call to move past the barriers that stand between us and those who may be different. Eric Michael Bryant has seen tolerance shown to those who are different than us — racially, religiously, sexually, politically, economically — and believes there must be more. After all, Jesus didn’t just tolerate people; he embraced them all with love. Using lighthearted humor, engaging personal stories, and a “party theology,” Bryant shows us how to love our neighbors and fulfill the vision Jesus had for the church from the beginning. Whether that is through building relationships with the help of bounce houses, stand up comedy, or piñatas, followers of Christ will be inspired to actively engage the world around them.
