I saw a recent Facebook post by an African American friend urging white Americans to find and read resources related to race relationships, racial reconciliation, and the African American experience in America.
I agree 100%. That’s why a couple of years ago I collated two extensive lists of books and resources on these vital issues. I share them again today—free as always—to help all of us to learn, change, and grow.

- Community-Based Ministry
- Community Development
- Cross-Cultural Ministry
- Multicultural Ministry
- Multiethnic Relationships
- Race Relationships

220 Resources on Black Church History in America
While many of us could name European heroes of the Reformation, how many of us could name any of the heroes of the Black Church? We all have much to learn from each other—from the great cloud of spiritual witnesses—Christians from every tribe, tongue, nation, and race.
This bibliography of 220 resources will help us to learn about and from the Black Church in America.

I collated these lists in 2017, so resources from the past three years are not yet included. I would love to update this list with newer resources, and with resources I simply am unaware of.
So…After reviewing the first resource bibliography, what additional resources would you recommend on any of these 8 topics: Community-Based Ministry, Community Development, Cross-Cultural Ministry, Multicultural Ministry, Multiethnic Relationships, Race Relationships, Racial Reconciliation, and Urban Ministry?
After reviewing the second resource bibliography, what additional resources would you recommend for studying Black Church History in America?
