Drawing upon two decades of mission experience, Leroy Barber exposes the racial divisions within Christian ministries and offers practical and comprehensive solutions for promoting diversity. Red, Brown, Yellow, Black and White highlights the historic patterns that have created racial discrepancies within missions. It joins the essential canon created by touchstone books like Divided by Faith by Michael Emerson and Christian Smith and the ever-popular Race Matters by Cornel West. With a no-blame attitude, powerful personal narratives from a dozen other black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and white Christians, interactive histories of missions, and the writings of MLK and Howard Thurman (the entire "Letter From Birmingham Jail" and Howard Thurman's motivational speech "Sound of the Genuine"), Barber addresses this tough issue in a way that will inspire and motivate readers of all races toward change.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Dixie Chicks are country's greatest girl group. A lot of change occurred during the group's run; for instance, Natalie Maines wasn't always the lead singer, though it wasn't until Maines joined the group that they enjoyed massive success. The chicks' biggest albums, "Wide Open Spaces" and "Fly" made the girls an unstoppable force. The albums generated hits like, "Wide Open Spaces," "Earl," "I Can Love You Better," "Without You," "You Were Mine," "There's Your Trouble," and many more. After some controversy and a battle with their record label, the girls released more music and had a few hits, but nothing as big as they did in their heyday. Today, Dixie Chicks fans can hear the music of Emily and Martie through their band, Court Yard Hounds. To read more about the lives and careers of the girls behind the Dixie Chicks, check out this edition of "Country Music Chicks."
