"Bishop Bloomer provides important insight regarding the
'elephants' of race and human dignity that are still challenges for
people of color and faith in our country."
--Michael McBride, Director, Urban Strategies and Lifelines to
Healing, Berkeley, California
Bishop Bloomer takes on a series of subjects that are often ignored
by the body of Christ. He offers tremendous insight, while always
using the Word of God as a foundation. Issues like gay marriage,
welfare, women's rights, and gun control are not always black and
white but include many shades of gray. Bishop navigates these with
love, compassion, and an insightfulness in a way that is both
refreshing and thought provoking.
--Paul Crouch Jr., Director of Project Development, The Word
Network
Every retail book outlet is overflowing with volumes of self-help
strategies promising to make your life better, easier, calmer,
slimmer and less stressful. If it is that type of milquetoast
pabulum you seek, very quickly, put this book back on the shelf.
This is a manifesto for believers everywhere, urging them to become
involved in redemptive engagement in the current war of ideas that
must be waged. And that war must be won to counteract a corrupt
culture that is in danger of complete collapse by implosion.
Drawing upon personal experience, current events, and the wisdom of
the ages, Bishop George Bloomer tackles the thorniest issues of our
time with equal measures of boldness and grace. He makes no
apologies for offending both sides of the political and ideological
spectrum. He confronts issues that have permeated a contrary
culture, and, at the same time, challenges the church to arise from
its slumber to become the salt and light God created it to be. The
church is nothing unless and until it becomes an agent of
culturally incorrect redemptive change! Elephants in the Church is
not intended to allow you to ignore injustice nor turn away from
issues of righteousness. Its purpose is not to pacify you, but to
provoke you to rigorous introspection and righteous action.
--Rod Parsley, World Harvest Church, Columbus, Ohio, Host,
Breakthrough with Rod Parsley
Outside the mainstream, outside the Big Apple, outside the box,
Bishop George Bloomer is a fresh thinker, a truth seeker, and a
genuine visionary. Listen to him. He is transparent; his life is
one triumph over another. His fingers are firmly placed on the
pulse of what we must know to confront the "elephants" coming
toward us in our future. Elephants in the Church is a best-seller
must read!
--Eldrin Bell, Former chairman, Clayton County Board of
Commissioners, Former Atlanta Police Chief
There are only two places where elephants exist: in the wild and in
the captivity of a zoo or circus. In the wild, the elephant
operates by natural intent, as God created it; in captivity, it is
reduced to performing. The church has become acquainted with mass
performances, susceptible to the tricks of the ringmasters in a
three-circus. Bishop George Bloomer's book, Elephants in the
Church, exposes the church--the performing elephant--and places it
back into its natural habitat and rightful position. Once again,
Bishop George Bloomer nails it. Every believer should read this
book.
--Jamal Bryant, Jamal Bryant Ministries, Pastor, The Empowerment
Temple, Baltimore, Maryland
