With God As My Partner

An Autobiography

By: Pastor Ronald A. Palmer

In 1972, I felt impressed of the Lord to write a book about my life and ministry. He even gave me the title, With God As My Partner. I voiced my objection in prayer by "reminding" Him that I had only been preaching for three years and pastoring for one. I had no experience in writing, but all I heard in return was, "Not now." I went through life with many "experiences" (both good and bad) piling up through the years. About four years ago, my wife said, "Ron, why don't you write a book about your life and ministry?" I didn't have any good answer for her; and since she is my best friend, my closest confidant, and my dearest prayer partner, I gave it some serious thought. In the following year, I came in contact with three or four others who asked me the same thing. In view of this, I went to the Lord in sincere prayer, and He said, "Now is the time." The book is not really in any chronological order but goes back and forth at times as I remember things. Again, the only way I could remember times, people, and names is With God As My Partner. I was not striving to produce any item of "literary art," but something that could be shared with others what God has shared with me through the years. It has been an interesting journey, and I look forward to continuing it. When I gave the book its title, it was with a sense of humility, and not arrogance. I am well aware of the fact that the only way I (or anyone else) can "partner" with God is by His grace, realizing that it is all for His glory.

The Voice of his Blood

Spiritual Guidebook

By: Pastor Ronald Grant

The opening of the eyes of our understanding and spiritual knowledge of the truth of God's Word is absolutely necessary for deliverance from the spirit of deception. Without the opening of the eyes of our spiritual understanding, freedom is impossible. Satan can actually overcome us and bring us into bondage even when we believe God by faith if we do not exert action in the spiritual realm. When you have discerned the deception of the enemy and recognized the conversations of the enemy within the mind and wills of the flesh (that of physical impulse), you will begin to gain ground on the enemy of your soul. Deception unlatches the gate for evil spirits to come in; passivity provides a place for them to stay. This combination of deception and passivity equals entrenchment of the soul (mind, will, emotions). The common factor for entrenchment is the inactivity of your own God-given free will. We as Christians in our ignorance have been deceived by the powers of the darkness and have fulfilled the conditions for the enemy to work in our lives.

The Book of Scripture vs. Culture

By: Pastor Raymond Vietmeier

The Book of Scripture vs. Culture explains what the title implies. It uses biblical scriptures to explain about the difference of the culture in the United States from the scriptures that say what God expects us to do. The book explains how one person was guided by God from childhood until he ultimately made that person into a preacher and a disciple. Since the author could not know the details of another person's relationship with the Holy Trinity, he used his own life story. Following that story, he explains about miracles God performed in order to protect him from harm so he would ultimately do the work God had planned for him from the time of conception. Also this book goes into great detail as to what is going wrong with our culture""it is going in the opposite direction from what God expects of us in the Holy Bible. As an "ordained independent minister," the author tries to back up everything he writes with scripture. He also describes how God personally directs and guides him when writing sermons and also writing the books God wants him to write. The author hopes you not only enjoy reading this book but also may learn things of which you were not previously aware. May God bless America, and may we change our cultural direction to agree with the holy scriptures.

Living at the Edge of the World

A Teenager's Survival in the Tunnels of Grand Central Station

By: Tina S.,Jamie Pastor Bolnick

When Tina S. meets April, a teenage runaway, she thinks she's found her best friend. She leaves behind her dysfunctional family to join April in the tunnels of Grand Central Station amidst the homeless and drug addicted. Soon she's bingeing on crack--just like April--and stealing, scamming and panhandling to support her habit and to survive on the streets. In her own words, she describes her descent into crack addiction, being raped in the tunnels, her several arrests and jail terms and her grief and guilt over the death of April, whom she'd come to love. Finally faced with the reality that she might not make it through one more day, Tina takes her first difficult steps towards a normal life. With the help of a homeless advocate and his wife, a gay uncle dying of AIDS, and the woman who was to become her co-author on this book, Tina turns her life around and makes her way back to the world of the living.

Religion Gone Astray

What We Found at the Heart of Interfaith

By: Pastor Don Mackenzie,Rabbi Ted Falcon,Imam Jamal Rahman

Welcome to the deeper dimensions of interfaith dialogue— exploring that which divides us personally, spiritually and institutionally. "We believe that interfaith dialogue holds the key to a healing that calls us back to purpose and to meaning. We have risked confronting aspects of our traditions usually hidden, and the consequences have been deeply life-affirming. We risk becoming vulnerable as we share awkward and even unacceptable texts and interpretations, but it is this very vulnerability that allows our dialogue to move forward." —from the Introduction Expanding on the conversation started with their very successful first book, the Interfaith Amigos—a pastor, a rabbi and an imam—probe more deeply into the problem aspects of our religious institutions to provide a profound understanding of the nature of what divides us. They identify four common problem areas in the Abrahamic faiths: Exclusivity: Staking Claim to a One and Only Truth Violence: Justifying Brutality in the Name of Faith Inequality of Men and Women: The Patriarchal Stranglehold on Power Homophobia: A Denial of Legitimacy They explore the origins of these issues and the ways critics use these beliefs as divisive weapons. And they present ways we can use these vulnerabilities to open doors for the collaboration required to address our common issues, more profound personal relationships, and true interfaith healing.

Nothing to Lose

Unlikely Allies in the Struggle for a Better Black America

By: Pastor Darrell Scott

“What makes you think black people will vote for you? Because the word on the street is, you’re a racist.” With those blunt words to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, Pastor Darrell Scott began a journey he never expected to take—becoming the future president’s most prominent African-American supporter and advisor. In Nothing to Lose, Pastor Scott recounts how and why he boarded “the Trump Train,” revealing the considerable difficulties he experienced along the way. As his story progresses, Pastor Scott highlights the accomplishments he, his allies, and members of the Trump administration have worked so hard to earn on behalf of the black community in the United States. Pastor Scott holds absolutely nothing back as he describes: • His transformation from a life of drugs and crime on the streets of Cleveland to a life leading a thriving community church. • Behind-the-scenes stories of Trump’s historic campaign, inauguration, and first term as president. • The blistering criticism he, his family, and his church endured from members of the black community and mainstream media. • Intimate portraits of Trump’s ever-evolving inner circle, including the Trump children, Michael Cohen, Corey Lewandowski, Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner, and Omarosa. • What he truly thinks of former president Barack Obama, and why. • His experience with leading national media figures on both ends of the political spectrum, including Sean Hannity, Don Lemon, and Van Jones. Lastly, Pastor Scott provides a surprising portrait of President Donald Trump himself—his candor; his support for policies, issues, and initiatives important to the African-American community; and his little-understood relationship with Christianity.

No Easy Jesus

How the Toughest Choices Lead to the Greatest Life

By: Jason Mitchell (Pastor)

2018 Christian Book Award finalist (New Author category) "Too many Christians I know have grown bored and frustrated with just 'believing' in Jesus. They've settled for salvation someday, not realizing they can experience a fuller life today." Many Christians share a secret. Few of us dare to speak it out loud, because doing so would feel like taking a slap at God--and it wouldn't make us look good either. Yet this secret is affecting us painfully on the inside every single day. Here it is: Believing in Jesus has left us disappointed. At one point we were thrilled and hopeful about living a life of trusting in Christ. But over time our experience has failed to live up to our expectations or make the difference we thought it would. So we've begun to think: "This can't be all there is to being a Christian." If that's what you've been thinking . . . you're right. No Easy Jesus holds the key to moving forward when you're bored, disillusioned, and beaten down by faith-as-usual. It's a clarion challenge to wake up each day and choose Jesus all over again; to make the tough, gritty choices that align your way with His and lead to true fullness of life. Because when you decided to follow Jesus, you didn't sign up for what was easiest--you signed up for what was best.

At War

Engaging the Enemy with Spiritual Weapons

By: Pastor Mike Kiley

At War God continues His extraordinary outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our day. Still, the devil and his demonic forces respond with their outpouring of lies, deceit, murder, and destruction. According to Scripture, this adversary will stop at nothing to destroy those who believe in Jesus. We, as Christians, cannot combat the powers of darkness in the strength of our human resources and expect to succeed. Nor can we escape the battle by denying the reality of spiritual warfare. The devil lurks in the background when you experience anxiety, confusion, discouragement, rejection, guilt, apathy, or lacking hope. Perhaps doubts have crept in regarding your standing before God. Difficulties have unexpectedly flared up in your marriage and family, or you have become frustrated and discouraged because of a powerless walk. These feelings and troubles are often the results of manipulation by the devil through lying, deception, trickery, double-dealings, and a host of temptations. In 1978 my wife, Trisha, and I planted a church in the heart of Silicon Valley. God answered our prayers and gave us a multi-ethnic church. As we practiced the principles taught in this book, we watched hundreds of men and women being delivered from the power of darkness and becoming ardent followers of Jesus. This is the story of God and our forty-year journey standing against and defeating the powers of darkness. Fellow Christians, you may object to this spiritual warfare and even refuse to fight, but that won't stop your adversary from waging war against you. It's your decision, win or lose!

State of Resistance

What California’s Dizzying Descent and Remarkable Resurgence Mean for America’s Future

By: Manuel Pastor

“Concise, clear and convincing. . . a vision for the country as a whole.” —James Fallows, The New York Times Book Review A leading sociologist's brilliant and revelatory argument that the future of politics, work, immigration, and more may be found in California Once upon a time, any mention of California triggered unpleasant reminders of Ronald Reagan and right-wing tax revolts, ballot propositions targeting undocumented immigrants, and racist policing that sparked two of the nation's most devastating riots. In fact, California confronted many of the challenges the rest of the country faces now—decades before the rest of us. Today, California is leading the way on addressing climate change, low-wage work, immigrant integration, overincarceration, and more. As white residents became a minority and job loss drove economic uncertainty, California had its own Trump moment twenty-five years ago, but has become increasingly blue over each of the last seven presidential elections. How did the Golden State manage to emerge from its unsavory past to become a bellwether for the rest of the country? Thirty years after Mike Davis's hellish depiction of California in City of Quartz, the award-winning sociologist Manuel Pastor guides us through a new and improved California, complete with lessons that the nation should heed. Inspiring and expertly researched, State of Resistance makes the case for honestly engaging racial anxiety in order to address our true economic and generational challenges, a renewed commitment to public investments, the cultivation of social movements and community organizing, and more.

Equity, Growth, and Community

What the Nation Can Learn from America's Metro Areas

By: Chris Benner,Manuel Pastor

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s new open access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In the last several years, much has been written about growing economic challenges, increasing income inequality, and political polarization in the United States. This book argues that lessons for addressing these national challenges are emerging from a new set of realities in America’s metropolitan regions: first, that inequity is, in fact, bad for economic growth; second, that bringing together the concerns of equity and growth requires concerted local action; and, third, that the fundamental building block for doing this is the creation of diverse and dynamic epistemic (or knowledge) communities, which help to overcome political polarization and help regions address the challenges of economic restructuring and social divides.

Don't Stay at Calvary

Why is the church of today so different from the church of the first century?

By: Pastor Ronald A. Palmer

When I finished writing my fist book, which was my autobiography, With God As My Partner, and had submitted it to the publishers for printing, I thought I was done for a while. About two months after that, I was almost asleep one night when the thought came to me: Don't Stay at Calvary. I was instantly awake and lay there for about a half hour trying to figure out what it meant. Getting nowhere, I committed it to the Lord and went to sleep. A couple days later, as I was praying, the verse in Matthew 16:24 came to mind where Jesus said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." It connected with the thought I had about Don't Stay at Calvary. This book is the result of those thoughts and the meditation that I spent on them. I had no thought of writing another book so soon, but I felt impressed to try to address the question I had been asked so often. "Why is the church of today so different from the church of the first century?" I certainly have no "corner on the market" of knowledge or wisdom, especially when it concerns such a profound and involved question as that one. I do, however, have over fifty years in the ministry of the Gospel, having answered the call to preach on the last Sunday of April 1969 and felt it may be beneficial to share what I believe God has laid on my heart about that subject. It is by no means the "final word," but I hope it will be a clear challenge for the church to follow Jesus in service rather than "stay at Calvary" in complacency.

Breaking new ground in its innovative blend of quantitative and qualitative methods, the book essentially argues that another sort of growth is indeed possible. While offering specific insights for regional leaders and analysts of metropolitan areas, the authors also draw a broader – and quite timely – set of conclusions about how to scale up these efforts to address a U.S. economy still seeking to recover from economic crisis and ameliorate distributional divisions.

Solidarity Economics

Why Mutuality and Movements Matter

By: Chris Benner,Manuel Pastor

Traditional economics is built on the assumption of self-interested individuals seeking to maximize personal gain, but that is far from the whole story. Sharing, caring, and a desire to uphold the collective good are also powerful motives. In a world wracked by inequality, social divisions, and ecological destruction, can we build an alternative economics based on cooperation? In this book Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor invite us to imagine a new sort of solidarity economics – an approach grounded in our instincts for connection and community – and in so doing, actually build a more robust and sustainable economy. They argue that our current economy is already deeply dependent on mutuality, but that the inequality and fragmentation created by the status quo undermine this mutuality and with it our economic well-being. They outline the theoretical framing, policy agenda, and social movements that we need to revive solidarity and apply it to whole societies. Solidarity Economics is an essential read for anyone who longs for a fairer economy that can generate prosperity and preserve the planet.

South Central Dreams

Finding Home and Building Community in South L.A.

By: Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo,Manuel Pastor

Race, place, and identity in a changing urban America Over the last five decades, South Los Angeles has undergone a remarkable demographic transition. In South Central Dreams, eminent scholars Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo and Manuel Pastor follow its transformation from a historically Black neighborhood into a predominantly Latino one, providing a fresh, inside look at the fascinating—and constantly changing—relationships between these two racial and ethnic groups in California. Drawing on almost two hundred interviews and statistical data, Hondagneu-Sotelo and Pastor explore the experiences of first- and second-generation Latino residents, their long-time Black neighbors, and local civic leaders seeking to build coalitions. Acknowledging early tensions between Black and Brown communities. they show how Latino immigrants settled into a new country and a new neighborhood, finding various ways to co-exist, cooperate, and, most recently, demonstrate Black-Brown solidarity at a time when both racial and ethnic communities have come under threat. Hondagneu-Sotelo and Pastor show how Latino and Black residents have practiced, and adapted innovative strategies of belonging in a historically Black context, ultimately crafting a new route to place-based identity and political representation. South Central Dreams illuminates how racial and ethnic demographic shifts—as well as the search for identity and belonging—are dramatically shaping American cities and neighborhoods around the country.

Why Jesus Ain't Gonna Do Nothin!

By: Pastor Allen W. Fleming

Jesus Ain't Gonna Do Nothin', because He already did everything for us. Then He declared, "IT IS FINISHED." This book is a personalized message to you from God. You are not reading this by chance. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords gave us His power. He forgave us all once and for all, of all of our sins: past, present, and future by being brutally beaten and executed on the cross to ransom us from the cost of our sins. He freely paid for our salvation and gave us ALL things that pertain to life and Godliness. He destroyed illness by dying from every disease known and unknown to man at one time on the cross. He gave us dominion and power over all of the power and forces of the evil one so that now nothing shall harm us in any way. He gave us the ability to gain wealth, and He gave us a life of divine prosperity Our beloved King suffered the indignity of leaving His throne in heaven to walk the earth as a human, being tempted at all points as are we, yet not sinning. He was tortured to death by vicious brutal Roman soldiers, skilled in the art of pain infliction. He suffered the worst, most painful death anyone ever had or ever will. Why? BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH!

The North American Idea

A Vision of a Continental Future

By: Robert A. Pastor

In its first seven years, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) tripled trade and quintupled foreign investment among the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, increasing its share of the world economy. In 2001, however, North America peaked. Since then, trade has slowed among the three, manufacturing has shrunk, and illegal migration and drug-related violence have soared. At the same time, Europe caught up, and China leaped ahead. In The North American Idea, eminent scholar and policymaker Robert A. Pastor explains that NAFTA's mandate was too limited to address the new North American agenda. Instead of offering bold initiatives like a customs union to expand trade, leaders of the three nations thought small. Interest groups stalemated the small ideas while inhibiting the bolder proposals, and the governments accomplished almost nothing. To overcome this resistance and reinvigorate the continent, the leaders need to start with an idea based on a principle of interdependence. Pastor shows how this idea--once woven into the national consciousness of the three countries--could mobilize public support for continental solutions to problems like infrastructure and immigration that have confounded each nation working on its own. Providing essential historical context and challenging readers to view the continent in a new way, The North American Idea combines an expansive vision with a detailed blueprint for a more integrated, dynamic, and equitable North America.

Still Healing

By: Lloyd W. Wright,Pastor Lloyd W. Wright,Pamela Battle

Still Healing! Pastor Lloyd Wright Sr.: Jesus tells us in the gospel of Luke chapter 4:18 that he comes to heal the broken hearted. Many people hearts are broken and crushed after losing a spouse. If you want to be healed, look to God. God still wants to heal you no matter how unbearable your pain may be. For those of you struggling with a sick child and going through a divorce or remarriage, I strongly encourage you to embrace my words of encouragement and the many experiences I share in this book. Reverend Lloyd Wright is the Senior Pastor of the Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church-in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is married and has a son. Pam Battle: I want to share with you how God, is definitely my healer. Walking through the dark journey of losing my spouse to cancer and then being diagnosed with breast cancer, I call this double jeopardy. Raising three small children without their father truly was a trying time for me because my heart was truly broken. I didn't want to live, but God came through and helped me to trust and have faith in him. As you read Still Healing, you will see how God has helped me to heal in many areas of my life. My prayer for you is that you let God help you through this difficult time in your life. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18

Limits to Friendship

The United States and Mexico

By: Robert A. Pastor

An unfettered, probing dialogue between Mexican and American political analysts on the complex relationship between their countries. Few nations are as closely interrelated as the United States and Mexico. Few relationships between nations are so prickly. America's inveterate problem-solving strikes Mexicans as clandestine imperialism. Mexicans are accused of ignoring the flow of drugs through their country; Americans are accused of saddling Mexico with their drug problem. Americans brood over the influx of Mexican immigrants; Mexicans worry that their culture and traditions are being diluted from the north. These differences are now aired−and their origins made clear−in this landmark book by a former official in the Carter administration and one of Mexico's most respected political scholars. In alternating chapters on foreign policy, economic relations, immigration, and social influence, Robert A. Pastor and JorgeC. Castañeda offer a multifaceted view of the ties and conflicts between their countries.

A Study of the Holy Spirit

A Study of the Holy Spirit

By: Pastor Raymond Vietmeier

The author, Pastor Raymond Vietmeier was awakened one night and directed by the Holy Spirit to look up “courses about the Holy Spirit.” When that did not produce anything useful, the Holy Spirit said to look up “study the Holy Spirit.” That brought up what the Holy Spirit wanted. It was a public domain document outlining everything about the Holy Spirit. The author followed the outline and added commentaries about each feature of the Holy Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit directed in detail the final chapter. The author noticed that the Holy Spirit sends messages much faster than what the author is used to with the Father and the Son. When the final chapter was completed, the author spoke to the Holy Spirit saying, “I’m sorry, Holy Spirit, but you spoke so fast that I have made many typos, misspellings, words printed twice, and even missing words.” The Holy Spirit replied, “Don’t worry, we will clean up the rough draft in the morning.” The next morning, the author was awakened by the Holy Spirit and directed to go to the computer and work with the Holy Spirit to correct the final chapter. In the nightly prayer following that day, Pastor Ray began to pray, but like many times before, God spoke up and began a two-way conversation as Pastor Ray is living in the light. Meaning that he is walking and talking with the Father. When Pastor Ray commented about the speed the Holy Spirit sends messages, both the Father and the author began to laugh. The author thought he should not have joked about the Holy Spirit, but the Father did not seem to mind at all. Both the Father and the Son enjoy talking one-on-one instead of just in prayer. This closeness has caused the evil one, Satan, to become very upset. He hates those who are close to the Holy Trinity. When writing the fourth book, Satan actually destroyed two chapters referring to how the Jewish people and Muslims can find love, joy, and happiness in becoming a true Christian.

The International Monetary Fund And Latin America

Economic Stabilization And Class Conflict

By: Manuel Pastor

The debt crisis in Latin America has rekindled debate about the effects of the IMF's stabilization programs in the Third World. Critics contend that these programs have short-run recessionary impacts and damage prospects for long-term growth. In response, Fund economists point to cross-country studies revealing mixed impacts on growth rates coupled with significant success in achieving the IMF's stated goals: current account and balance-of-payments improvements and inflation rate reduction. Dr. Pastor argues that the traditional growth-oriented critique is theoretically misplaced, and he recasts Fund activities in terms of class and income distribution. Applying the methodology of previous Fund studies, he evaluates the effects of IMF programs in eighteen Latin American countries in the pre-crisis period (1965-1981).

Historia mínima de Centroamérica

By: Rodolfo Pastor

Este pequeño libro ambicioso intenta articular una visión integral de Centroamérica. La historia material y espiritual, que habla de las cifras de la economía y sus ciclos, pero asimismo de los anhelos y los conceptos básicos, de los poemas y las construcciones imaginarias de los centroamericanos y que pretende explicar un proceso social particular, pero ambiciona también seguir los cambios políticos profundos y adaptaciones de los centroamericanos a los cambios del poder externo, sus revoluciones y las más típicas evoluciones, desde la antigüedad hasta las vicisitudes del imperialismo estadounidense, de que ha sido teatro el istmo durante el último siglo, pasando por los conflictos imperiales entre España e Inglaterra en la era colonial, y entre Inglaterra y EUA en el siglo XIX. Esta obra tiene pues lagunas, olvidos necesarios. Pero quizás también un mérito: más que otras obras parecidas consigue demostrar cómo en la era colonial se integró una economía y sociedad que imantaron una discusión pública centroamericana.

Understanding Prophetic Ministry

A Biblical Review to Preserving Sound Practices, Correcting Misconceptions and Preventing Abuses

By: Pastor Tewodros Assefa Damtew

With the advent of social media and its inherent ability to make people's words "go viral," abundant opportunities exist for false prophecies to flourish in the church. People are drawn to these "prophets" to ease anxiety, fulfill wants, or know the future. But when these men and women aren't speaking God's words, they can lead people astray and turn their eyes from our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. In Understanding Prophetic Ministry, author Tewodros Assefa Damtew addresses this danger by highlighting the benchmarks and characteristics of the true prophets of God and providing practical instructions on how to deal, in love, with the false prophets that will arise these days. Pastor Damtew bases his words on biblical truth and rigorous theological study, and his teaching provides transformative insights and guidance to all those interested in learning more about prophecy and other ministerial gifts in the church. With topics ranging from the restoration of the prophetic ministry to the infiltration of false prophets, this is a must-read for Bible students, visionaries, church leaders, and the laity. Relevant, timely, and straightforward, Understanding Prophetic Ministry will be a valuable resource in Bible colleges and seminaries, church and personal libraries, and small group studies.

Land and Economy in Ancient Palestine

By: Jack Pastor

Land and Economy in Ancient Palestine is a study of the economic crises throughout the Second Temple Period. It establishes that the single factor of the economy which united all aspects of life in ancient society was land. Through study of a wide variety of sources, including the New Testament and classical authors, Jack Pastor looks at who owned land, and how they came to possess it. He examines the various ramifications of landownership in ancient society to ascertain its effect on livelihoods, government policies and revenues. A special emphasis is placed on debt and famine as social and economic problems with ties to the landholding structure.

This Could Be the Start of Something Big

How Social Movements for Regional Equity Are Reshaping Metropolitan America

By: Manuel Pastor Jr.,Chris Benner,Martha Matsuoka

For nearly two decades, progressives have been dismayed by the steady rise of the right in U.S. politics. Often lost in the gloom and doom about American politics is a striking and sometimes underanalyzed phenomenon: the resurgence of progressive politics and movements at a local level. Across the country, urban coalitions, including labor, faith groups, and community-based organizations, have come together to support living wage laws and fight for transit policies that can move the needle on issues of working poverty. Just as striking as the rise of this progressive resurgence has been its reception among unlikely allies. In places as diverse as Chicago, Atlanta, and San Jose, the usual business resistance to pro-equity policies has changed, particularly when it comes to issues like affordable housing and more efficient transportation systems. To see this change and its possibilities requires that we recognize a new thread running through many local efforts: a perspective and politics that emphasizes "regional equity." Manuel Pastor Jr., Chris Benner, and Martha Matsuoka offer their analysis with an eye toward evaluating what has and has not worked in various campaigns to achieve regional equity. The authors show how momentum is building as new policies addressing regional infrastructure, housing, and workforce development bring together business and community groups who share a common desire to see their city and region succeed. Drawing on a wealth of case studies as well as their own experience in the field, Pastor, Benner, and Matsuoka point out the promise and pitfalls of this new approach, concluding that what they term social movement regionalism might offer an important contribution to the revitalization of progressive politics in America.
