The Wolf Shall Dwell With the Lamb: A Spirituality for Leadership in a Multicultural Community

Rating:
Summary: An Essential Asset for Work in Multi-Cultural Communities
Review: A must read for anyone ministering in a multi-cultural context. Law provides a rationale for tensions between differing cultural groups and techniques to provide a means for greater understanding and communication between groups.

Summary: Articulates the reality well
Review: After having worked for 7 years in a foreign country and culture, I experienced a lot of frustration as I met the culture. Law's book is one of the best I've found in helping me see (albeit in hindsight) what was going on. His distinctions were helpful. I recommend this book for people working (or about to work) in a multi-cultural setting. He gives practical suggestions and some helpful theoretical frameworks to assist those who are bewildered (or about to be bewildered!) with an encounter with those of different cultural mindsets. It was just the book I needed to reflect upon my overseas experience.

Summary: Great Title - Disappointing Content
Review: I have attempted to read as many educational resources as possible on the subject of multicultural ministry, because I believe it is vital that Christian leaders in North America become more effective in reaching out to their diverse communities. Thus, I was thrilled to see a book published on "A Spirituality for Leadership in a Multicultural Community." However, upon reading Law's book, I felt that his observations could have been summarized in a few pages. If all you are looking for is a resource that highlights that "whites of Nothern European origin - tend to dominate," - then, this is the book for you.
