Chris Rice, a columnist for the Christian Sojourner magazine, takes on a memoirist's voice as he builds a dramatic story of racial harmony. Grace Matters begins in the early 1980s as Rice takes on a daunting role--that of a white man working within a predominately black church to help heal racial tension in Jackson, Mississippi. As a new member of the Voice of Calvary Church, Rice attends one of his first meetings. Here is where he meets the man who will eventually become his co-author of the award-winning book More Than Equals:
Then Spencer Perkins rose from his seat at the back of the church ... Spencer's eyes narrowed. His voice was gruff, defiant and confident. "What I want to know," he said, "is, what are all you white people doin' here?" That's all he said.... All lessons about how to win friends and influence people went right out the window. With one quick sentence, Spencer Perkins iced over the sunny land of my racial idealism.
As this memoir unfolds, we are privy to a magnificent friendship between two men of different races and extremely different backgrounds who discover that they each have tough spiritual lessons to teach one another. Eventually the story pans outward from the fiery friendship, as the duo helps to build an inspirational and interracial church community that brings "a culture of grace" to an impoverished inner-city neighborhood. Few would have thought that this kind of racially inclusive Christianity could have been accomplished in the Deep South. Rice not only shows that it's been done, he offers a testament to how it can be done again and again. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
"Here is a real story of real people and real faith. The story of friendship between Chris Rice and my son Spencer and their work of racial reconciliation and healing represents the heart of the Christian witness. My prayer is that the 'seeds' of this story of struggle and hope they planted will spread and bloom and grow in the lives of many people." —John Perkins, chairman, Christian Community Development Association and author, Let Justice Roll Down
"Grace is the most potent counter force at work in our violent species, and our only hope. Chris Rice gives a very personal account, at once inspiring and disturbing, of its transforming power." — Philip Yancey, author, What's So Amazing About Grace?
"Chris Rice has a keen eye for detail and a gift for setting a scene. This remarkable, inspiring story he tells reads like a good novel. It is a story of powerful Christian faith, intense personal commitment, and maddening human frailty. But more than anything else, and though it ends in tragedy, this is a story of hope: My encounter with Grace Matters has left me daring to hope that, even at this late date, we Christians might yet live out the true meaning of our radical creed in regard to relations between blacks and whites in the United States." —Glenn C. Loury, director, Institute on Race and Social Division, Boston University
"In a rare and deeply significant way, Chris Rice honestly probes the difficult but essential journey toward genuine racial reconciliation. It is confessional, candid, and even painful as the author bares his soul and his struggles.... This is a book with a fundamental and hopeful message-that grace can become a way of life." —Jim Wallis, editor, Sojourners and convener, Call to Renewal
"Grace Matters is an extraordinary love story that is improbable as it was difficult. That a black man and a white man might be joined in a common love of God in Mississippi defies the imagination. But Chris Rice has helped us see that friendship—indeed a difficult friendship—is possible just to the extent a community existed in which truth mattered. Hopefully this book will be read and read widely, not simply to inform us about 'race relations' but because the story told here is one of hope and perseverance that hopefully will make more friendships possible." —Stanley Hauerwas, author of A Community of Character and named by Time magazine as America's Best Theologian

Grace Matters.......2003-02-20
This is an important book about human relationships and how conditioning must be transcended to allow a new order of humanity to emerge. Chris's honesty is remarkable and refreshing. The forces against human beings coming together are big - the black/white racial issue just further highlights what most of us try to pretend isn't there. Their willingness to trust in God and something bigger than themselves because they know how important it is for the sake of humanity, is very moving and should not be missed. This is an unusual book because although the foundational faith is Christianity, the issues are human and can be appreciated by anyone interested in solving the complex issues of what it means to be a human being.

The path to lasting change.......2002-11-23
Chris Rice is brutally vulnerable and honest about his attempts to achieve the goal of racial reconciliation in partnership with Spencer Perkins. And, while the goal is important, the means of achieving it takes center stage in this poignant and absorbing chronicle of life in an intentional biracial community. Chris and Spencer discover that, when it comes right down to it, the only way they can overcome their own personal hangups and self-centeredness, and achieve true reconciliation between them, is by fully accepting God's grace. As they accept God's grace, they become transformed people who are whole, healed, and capable of truly seeking the best for others. The book clearly documents the work of God in the deep, private recesses of peoples' lives. It should be read by anyone who wants to achieve lasting change in their own life and the world around them.
So Honest a book!!.......2002-11-15
What a tremendously honest book. There are no shortcuts to true racial reconciliation and justice. Attempts at shortcuts usually lead to a perpetuation of racial injustice or merely a reversal of who is oppressed. Reading "Grace Matters" clearly indicates this truism. Most of the books on race relations are dogmatic about the ultimate solutions there are to racial harmonty. This book is a more honest reflection of the struggles we will have to undergo so that racial reconciliation is possible. Rice does not make himself the "hero" of this book. He freely reveals the ugly side of himself. But just as important he does not deify Spencoer Perkins - his best friend in the book who is black - or blacks in general. This is a real book about real people.
If you want to just rely on those who pretend that they know all of the answers to racism, from color-blind whites to afrocentric blacks, then this book is not for you. The answers in this book are not offered through an unrealistic idealism but through the blood, sweat and tears that happen when people of different races really start working at racial healing. So if you want to gain a little sense of the type of struggle that we are going to have to undergo to eliminate racism then go get this book as soon as you can.
At last! the truth about interracial friendship.......2002-10-30
This memoir by Chris Rice is important, not because of the people involved, though they are in the forefront of evangelical ministry with the poor. It is important because for the first time someone is being brutally honest about what real relationships across the black-white chasm will cost and why they are worth the effort. This is no sugary, "Can't we just all get along" picture of the ideal "brotherhood of man." This is a chronicle of misunderstanding, miscommunication, determination, reconciliation and forgiveness. But finally, the story of Antioch Community and the friendship of Spencer Perkins and Christ Rice is about grace--God's grace working through flawed and struggling Christians who are radical enough to take the Sermon on the Mount as a call to lifestyle and mission.
Everybody who is interested in miinistry with the poor, racial reconciliation, Christian community and social justice should read this book.
Book Description
In the Christian world, Special Grace is knowledge of God through the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, while Common Grace is finding God through everyday life — experiences with family and friends, observance of the natural world. This book explores the spiritual and moral pathways that can inform one’s everyday life. With the natural skills of a gifted preacher, Anthony B. Robinson connects stories and anecdotes to biblical wisdom and offers nurturing life lessons. Part one of Common Grace addresses the personal, the individual, and the self. Part two explores the notion that a person is a person because of other people and the importance of family and relationships. Part three concerns being a person in the world — interacting with and contributing to social institutions. Robinson’s thoughts on being a parent, the power of the blessing, forgiveness and how to do it, and much more make this a useful, inspiring guide to modern living.

Other sides to many coins.......2007-03-09
Anthony Robinson had so many "other" ways to look at how one might think about scripture, grace and many daily experiences. Thank you, Anna, for recommending I read it.
Much More Than a How-To Book.......2007-01-27
There are many good and important insights in Tony Robinson's book, but one of the most helpful is the notion that there are no easy answers to our faith questions, our relationships with others, and the current social issues that often divide us - - and that's OK. This slim book of short essays is packed with humor, wisdom, and hope, the product of a thoughtful observer who knows how to both write and think with refreshing clarity and shrewdness.
Are you a parent? Check out the chapters on parenting and "hyper-parenting." Are you weary of the regular push-and-pull debates over "conservative" versus "liberal" Christianity? Robinson's essays don't take sides, and they offer wonderful insights on such topics as forgiveness, blessings, grace, and suffering. And if you are concerned about some of the social and political issues that have sharply divided Americans in recent (and not so recent) years, you'll find engaging and original suggestions for thinking about those questions. For example, do we regard ourselves as citizens (who participate in a democratic process) or taxpayers (who simply pay because we're told to)? The author tackles these and many other topics in an accessible and generous spirit.
Grace notes for those inside and outside the church.......2007-01-19
The hunger and thirst for the depths of the spiritual dimension to life goes on within and without the life of formal religious expression. And this book is for both. Those within the religious community will find in Robinson's essays a simple deepening of understanding of the profound encounters of the holy that may sometimes be lost in the more structured world of religion. And then they may return to that life with a renewed sense of the holy. Those outside the structured religious community will discover the grace that is common to all human life. God has not restricted access to holiness, but offers this grace to all who, either in despration or hope, have ears to hear.
These essays touch on grand theological themes without an authoritarian insistence on theological dogma or ethical conformity. Still, Robinson has an abiding respect for these ancient treasures kept, as it were, in the earthenware and therefore fragile jars of the church.
Robinson is a pastor within the Christian tradition, but he wishes for that great wealth of simple wisdom to be available to all who seek after it.
So, what is it, this grace thing? He writes in a letter to his 14 year-old daughter, Laura, "Christianity is a religion of grace. It is not a religion of virtue, nor a religion of rules.... A religion of grace says, 'God loves you--that's the given. Because God loves you, act as if you are beloved.' Grace comes first." So it does.
great book even if you're not religious.......2006-11-07
This is a wonderful book full of engaging stories. Unlike a lot of books I've read on spiritual subjects, Anthony Robinson does not come off preachy or even like he considers himself at all spiritually enlightened. The stories are each like sitting down to coffee with someone who's just a normal guy who's willing to share his life experience with you. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially if someone is going through a rough time emotionally. It is a comforting and hopeful book. It is also a nice, even-handed look at the religion of Christianity without judgment or preachiness and without an agenda to convert the reader.
Book Description
2005 Gold Medallion Award finalist!
A prophetic voice in a world where sin is explained away and grace is cheapened, Dr. Mark McMinn shows that only by reclaiming the language of sin will we be free to discover the power (and cost) of grace. While some people repeat the mantra "I'm OK, you're OK," it is much wiser to conclude, "I'm a mess, you're a mess." The good news is that, like the Prodigal Son, we aren't left standing at the pig trough. God sees us from a distance, runs to greet us, embraces us in love, and celebrates our arrival. The ballad of sin is not so much a dirge as it is a prelude to grace. Facing our sin ultimately ushers us into the presence of Grace, where we find forgiveness, mercy, hope, and celebration.

Excellent Seller.......2006-05-07
Great service, speedy delivery, the book is in excellent shape, better that advertised!!
Get past the beginning and you'll love it........2005-08-30
This book is so much better than the title makes it sound and than the first 25-35 pages make it seem. Just get through the beginning, and then you'll love it. Once you get past the tedious part where he's summarizing Nouwen (it's better to just read Nouwen), you'll find McMinn's wonderful contribution. If you're a preacher, buy this book. It has awesome illustrations for sermons. If you're trying to get right with God, read this book. It will help you see what's blocking you from God. If you're a psychologist, read this book because it's written by a psychologist who thinks highly of the discipline but has some vital things to say to those in the field. If you're interested in spiritual formation, buy this book because it will spawn you to change. The challenges are many, but the tone is so gentle that you might be able to swallow truth that you have previously denied.
Truthful and Encouraging.......2005-02-11
At first glance, the title may cause people to turn and run, but this is one of the most encouraging and outstanding books I have read. The author has a keen ability to address truth with grace, and point to the true hope of God's grace. Sin is an issue that permiates our lives. This book talks about the various ways that this is true and about how God deals with this reality in the process of sanctifying His people. The book is wonderfully written--a great balance between theology, illustration, truth and grace. Highly, highly recommended. May become a Christian classic.
A book of uncommon wisdom and warmth.......2004-07-15
Written with a blend of wisdom and warmth all too uncommon in books addressing the subjects of sin and grace, Mark McMinn has given his readers a tremendous well from which to draw nourishment and sustenance this side of heaven. As he contemplates Rembrandt's masterpiece "The Return of the Prodigal Son" in a Russian museum, he offers hope for all of us who roam and wonder if we'll be welcomed into our fathers' arms; as he explores our longings for "home" in the midst of our nomadic, earthly existence, he provides reassurance that we're not alone in the journey. Devoid of mere sentimentality and yet with the authentic voice of one on the pilgrim's way, this book was the right work at the right time in my own life.
The Surprising Relationship Between Our Sin and God's Grace.......2004-06-07
Open the front cover of this book, and you'll see a four-color glossy reproduction of Rembrandt's "The Return of the Prodigal Son," which captured the imagination of the late Henri Nouwen, whose best book personalizes that painting's characters and themes.
Inspired by Nouwen, McMinn, a psychology professor at Wheaton College (Illinois), went to St. Petersburg, Russia to "sit with" the Rembrandt and there decided to write this book about sin and grace --- far different, he says, from a never-published "book about grace" he wrote 15 years ago. The difference? From the perspective of empty-nest, middle age, he sees that one cannot understand grace "without understanding sin."
After two introductory chapters grounded in his epiphanic reaction to the Prodigal Son parable and painting, McMinn looks at sin from three perspectives: theology, psychology and spirituality. Noting the problems with a prevalent, secular "I'm OK, you're OK" mindset and a judgmental "I'm OK, you're a mess" stance, he concludes that it's wiser and more realistic, albeit countercultural, to admit, "I'm a mess, you're a mess." The voice of this humble stance draws the reader in; it turns what could have been an analytical book into an insightful, refreshing read. Through revealing (but not too) personal anecdotes, McMinn, the professor and expert, becomes a fellow traveler. "Our greatest hope is going through a long, slow process of understanding our messes, acknowledging our part in the problem, then seeking resolution and restoration."
Being a psychologist, not a theologian, his insights get better as the book progresses, but early on he does lay out good distinctions among three dimensions of sin: sinfulness, the "white noise" of original sin that "touches every aspect of our existence"; sins, the choices we make to "violate God's instruction"; and the consequences of sin, our own and others'. The point of this synopsis? "Only as we begin to grasp the immensity of the sin problem are we able to glimpse the depth of God's grace, and paradoxically, seeing God's grace gives us courage to face our sinfulness."
Much of part 2, "The Damage Report," which discusses the psychological perspective of sin, hones in on pride, "the utmost evil," according to C. S. Lewis --- how it wreaks havoc in our passions ("in our pride we love and hate the wrong things," writes McMinn) and also in our minds ("pride taints our thinking as well as our affections"). McMinn then spends a chapter acknowledging that we are not sinful trash but rather "noble ruins" --- made in the image of God.
Part 3, "Homeward Bound," draws us toward God and the grace he offers --- through himself and through people working on his behalf --- notably as we admit our sinfulness and sins. The best lines in the book may be those under the heading "Repentance and Forgiveness": "Time does not heal all wounds. Time heals clean wounds. Soiled wounds fester and infect, leading to bitterness and cynicism, to terrorism and war, to divided marriages and wounded children ...
"When we humbly admit our weaknesses and faults to God and to one another, we create the possibility for the intimacy we long for and we catch a glimpse of heaven."
It's hard to categorize this book. It is not self-help or how-to. Nor is it heavy theology (for all the talk of sin and grace, there isn't much technical talk of the Atonement). Nor is it a devotional. This is not a book for or of interest to men more than women. (Having said that, I note that in seven pages of endnotes, McMinn cites only two women; surely this says something about our fallen world, though it's hard for me to articulate what.)
Like the works of Henri Nouwen, WHY SIN MATTERS is a thoughtful, insightful nudge toward spiritual and psychological growth. It could well complement pastoral or clinical therapy. Its insights will be valuable for anyone who has sung John Newton's "Amazing Grace" and resonated with or has conversely been repulsed by its most difficult phrase: "a wretch like me."

An exciting book -- and yet so very wrong.......2006-11-25
Forde captures something of that same excitement that set Martin Luther aflame, and for this reason alone this little book deserves reading, especially by preachers. Forde's theology is a theology for preachers. How do we preach the gospel? How do we do the gospel to our congregations?
Yet Forde is also so very wrong in his reading of St Paul. If Forde is right, then nobody read the New Testament rightly until Martn Luther showed up on the scene. The critical flaw in Forde's presentation is most clearly revealed in his discussion of sanctification: sanctification is getting used to the fact that we can't do anything for our salvation. Who before Luther ever understood life in grace in this way? Absolutely nobody. That alone should tell us Luther/Forde has gone off the tracks somewhere.
Yet the book is absolutely worth reading. [...]
Grace abounding.......2005-06-02
One of the most significant books I have ever read. As a non-Lutheran, I so appreciate Forde's refusal to allow performance to creep into the salvation of sinner's--not only for justification but for sanctification as well. His insights into our freedom as Christians from the whole legal process as we recognize the death of the old man and the resurrection of the new are the very best I have ever seen. Each read of this little jewel (about six now) has produced new insight, and with each new insight, life in my heart.
Justification in Terms of Life and Death.......2000-03-13
Another good read. O Forde makes a great case both from Luther's writings and scripture that Justification needs to be placed not only as a forensic/courtroom truth as in the Lutheran Confessions but needs also to be restored under the 'death/life' category as well. It's not until we come to the end of our own 'theological rope' and despair of our self efforts towards salvation (via the cross)that we can clearly see salvation hanging there for us. The author begins with our need to 'sit down, shut up, and listen' (to scripture) and the book goes uphill from there.

From the national bestselling author of One Small Thing and When You Go Away comes a story about the closely intertwined lives of four women-their struggles to be perfect and the troubled secrets they hide.
Customer Reviews:
Myterious Grace.......2004-08-08
This is a story of the friendship of four women, each one with her story in this very summer, the center being Grace's recurring cancer. Narration and perspectives alternate among these women, on how they are trying to help Grace, as well as dealing with their own personal lives and inner conflicts.
It's an interesting soup of love, families, and friends. One faces divorce, another is having an affair, yet another is separating from her woman lover, and the last one seems to have it all. Yet they come together to be there for Grace and her daughter.
But Grace and her illness seem to be weird in many ways. The friends starts to get bewildered by things that do not add up. In their effort to help her, things get out of control.. and the story gets really interesting, what with the speculation and anticipation! Not being truthfully honest somehow spoils the otherwise beautifully reciprocal true friendship.
Unfortunately, it remains a mystery. The author justifies this by highlighting that in real life we don't always know all there is to know. But I want to know the story, as whole as possible, and aren't books suppose to transport us to a world of more understanding? But the catch is maybe the author is trying to show that not knowing the whole story is one way of understanding..
An Obvious Matter.......2004-02-02
This novel is about a woman who tries to conceal her eating disorder and her very close friends that basically allow her to do so for quite a long time.
In Oakland, Grace and 3 of her local swim club buddies make a strong friendship over the years. Nearly every day they see each other and share each other's sorrows and happiness. In the beginning of their friendship Grace divulges a story of surviving cancer. When her weight begins to plummet and she appears to be a walking cadaver, she reluctantly admits the cancer is raging nearly out of control. Her friends, without question, accept her story. There is little reason not to, until, as time goes on, things just do not seem to make sense.
However, it is a subject which is difficult to deal with. Each of the other women have their own problems, some worse than the other. While trying to do the best they can with their problems (divorce, pregnancy, etc) the matter of Grace becomes more convoluted.
In truth, such a problem can get pretty complicated before it is dealt with. Finally accepting warnings from others that Grace may be suffering from an eating disorder, the group of women plan an intervention. Without a solid structure, commitment and professional intervention, the attempt falls apart, leaving the group impotent to furthur confrontation.
The reality of Grace is that the disease is a process that continues unmercifully. It is also understood that eating disorder patients may also have drug, alcohol and self-mutilation addictions. The matter of Grace is beyond this clique of 4. The matter of Grace is beyond Grace.
I welcome and applaud the efforts of Jessica Barksdale Inclan to bring forth the issue of eating disorders. As a nurse and personally involved with a close relative with the eating disorder, I appreciate any and all efforts to educate the public about this problem. The book holds the worthy NAL accent and will enhance the understanding of eating disorders, recognition and treatment. It is up to all of us not to turn away and explore the possiblility of eating disorders. We may not be able to cure, but we can understand, accept , love and be supportive for those that suffer in the same problems such as the matter of Grace.
The Matter of Grace (Jessica Barksdale Inclan).......2003-06-29
Felice, Stella, Helen and Grace are four women who have been friends for about 7 years. Each week they gather and meet at a local swimming club where they involve themselves in conversation while their children learn to swim. Ms. Barksdale Inclan allows us a look at the closely intertwined friendship these four women share. Women who are struggling with motherhood, friendship, being a wife and the adversity that comes with each of these roles. The writing is so vividly clear that you feel as though you are the fifth friend in this group of four women silently listening to their conversations from a lounge chair at the side of the pool. Each of these women brings to the story a peek into their lives of the troubles and feelings they deal with on a day to day basis. Lives that many of us who are married and have friends can relate to. Their struggles are real, wrought with emotion and written with such clarity that you can feel, understand and appreciate the internal turmoil these women deal with. From a failed marriage, to a wandering eye to a serious illness. When Grace becomes ill the women gather to help their friend with her illness. Along this journey of comfort and compassion they each discover something about themselves and their lives. What they discover about Grace, is that you don't always know people, even your closest friends, as well as you think you do. The bond of friendship and motherhood is a strong and powerful thread throughout this novel.
Ms. Inclan has a true gift for writing that is rare to find. She writes with such clarity and emotion and is able to convey to and invoke in the reader, a feeling and sense of unity. Of being in the story with the characters and feeling as though you are experiencing their lives, their emotions, their hopes, their dreams, their friendship and the bond between them. The story draws you in from the beginning and keeps you warmly embraced until the end.
The Matter of Grace.......2002-07-13
In her second novel, the Matter of Grace, Jessica Barksdale Inclan again draws us into contemporary California suburbia, where daily life is emotionally complicated despite outward appearances for four women who find themselves striving (often struggling) to be good mothers, wives and friends while reflecting on and acceppting where childhood-family influences and choices have lead them.
Through well-developed characters, Inclan offers compassionate, intricate and deep insight into women's introspective look at marriage, sex, motherhood, intellectual and spiritual fulfillment, friendship and one's own childhood -- an extensive list of issues, but all she covers well.
The Matter of Grace focuses on the gift of friendship four women share, a friendship that started simply as mothers talking daily by the community poolside while their children swam. The bond these women develop through friendship -- unconditional love and support they don't feel elsewhere, even in marriage -- is revealed and then challenged in a story centered around Grace's new struggle with cancer.
The plot thickens with the mystery and depth of Grace's sickness. We learn about the fragility of a person who can't feel love and accepted because she can't love herself. And we are forced to consider how one's childhood family life and mother relationship affect her self-image, decision making, and abilities throughout life, even in abilities to mother her own child. As Grace's friends try to help her through illness they are forced to examine their own lives.
Published by New American Library (NAL), a division of Penguin Putnam Inc., The Matter of Grace has been named a NAL Accent novel -- a label awarded to new women's literature focused on "subjects close to a woman's heart, from friendship to family to finding our place in the world." NAL Accent novels include, at the close of each story, interviews with the author on what she hoped to convey through her writing and conversation guides intended to enrich the reading experience as well as encourage women to discuss issues together.
Book Description
In Grace Matters, we follow the remarkable journey of Chris Rice, a naive white college student from Vermont, who was transformed into an insightful man of faith who helped form a thriving interracial community in Jackson, Mississippi. Chris Rice's compelling story uncovers the wounds that divide the races and reveals what it takes to bring blacks and whites together, honestly, compassionately, and transcendently.
As a young man in 1981, Chris Rice thought he would take a few months off from his college to join the Voice of Calvary ministry. There he met Spencer Perkins— the eldest son of John Perkins, legendary African American evangelist and civil rights movement activist-and was forever changed. Together, Chris and Spencer and an extraordinary group of ordinary people entered into a bold experiment, creating an interracial faith community called Antioch, after the Mediterranean city where the followers of Jesus first became known as "Christians." Pooling their resources, this dedicated group of black and white Christians joined forces to realize the vision of the Sermon on the Mount. In so doing they not only enriched their own lives but also those of their inner-city neighbors.
