Jakes, Senior Pastor, The Potter\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003cb\u003es House) and argues that we must learn to see people not by the color of their skin, but as God sees them--humans created in the image of God.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePastor Miles McPherson, senior pastor of The Rock Church in San Diego, addresses racial division, a topic many have shied away from, for fear of asking the wrong question or saying the wrong thing. Some are oblivious to the impact racism has, while others pretend it doesn't exist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven the church has been affected by racial division, with Sunday now being the most segregated day of each week. Christians, who are called to love and honor their neighbors, have fallen into culture's trap by siding with one group against another: us vs. them. Cops vs. protestors. Blacks vs. whites. Racists vs. the \"woke.\" The lure of choosing one option over another threatens God's plan for unity among His people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInstead of going along with the culture, Pastor Miles directs us to choose the Third Option: honoring the priceless value of God's image in every person we meet. He exposes common misconceptions that keep people from engaging with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, and identifies the privileges and pitfalls that we all face. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Third Option\u003c\/i\u003e challenges us to fully embrace God's creativity and beauty, as expressed in the diversity of His people. By following the steps and praying the prayers outlined in his book, Pastor Miles teaches us how we can all become leaders in unifying our communities, our churches, and the nation.","brand":"Miles McPherson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40701312303153,"sku":"9781501172205","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781501172205.jpg?v=1757718698","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781501172205_the-third-option","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
