When it comes to the ethnic divisions in our world, we speak often of
seeking racial reconciliation. But at no point have all the different
ethnicities on Earth been reconciled. Animosity, distrust, and hostility
among people from various ethnicities have always existed in American
history. Even in the church, we have often built walls—ethnic
segregation, classism, sexism, and theological tribes—to divide God’s
people from each other.
But it shouldn’t be this way. God’s people are the only people on earth who have experienced true reconciliation. Who better to enter into the ethnic tensions of our day with the hope of Jesus?

In Intentional, pastor D. A.
Horton steps into the tension to offer vision and practical guidance for
Christians longing to embrace our Kingdom ethnicity, combating the
hatred in our culture with the hope of Jesus Christ.
