Taking the future of Asian America seriously.
What began a little more than ten years ago as a doctoral dissertation about the legitimacy of Americanized Asian American ministries has now been radically revised to speak to nearly every generation of Asian North Americans who have a stake in the future of the church. I share a simple and clear model of the flow of generations which calls into question prevalent models of Asian church growth, e.g., "umbrella" (multi-lingual congregations under one roof) and "parallel" (at least 2 sister congregations with separate pastors, budgets, etc.) At the same time, I challenge a good number of things about the typical Asian church in North America that must be changed if we are to be relevant to more acculturated Asian North Americans. I tried to make this book practical, prophetic, and easy to grasp.
