"Wallace Phillips has learned a lot of gospel lessons the hard way and in this book he shares the wisdom of his experiences as a pastor in rural North Carolina. He candidly reminds us of what Jesus said the church should look like: a place where are all are welcome, regardless of their skin color, attire or handicaps."

"Pastor Wallace Phillips serves up a hefty portion of real life application to go along with a side dish of good intentions. Good intentions are useless if they never get out of the gate. Reaching people...all people is the heart of God. Wallace Phillips brings home the way real worship should be. He concludes, 'Race divides, but relationship with Christ unites.'"

Wallace's writing goes to the next level in defining a generation with "...no place to go..." His family and ministry have faced real opposition from those who don't want people to have a place to go! Yet, because his heart has been open to a God who "so loved the world," his church doors have been open to ALL people in the world, and the church is full!  We must all come to a place Wallace has found, that racism is a spiritual problem, it's not a social problem."
