One Church Many Tribes
Richard Twiss shows how by understanding the history and worldview perspectives of North America's “host people” the church will discover some invaluable insights and needed Biblical principles for unity in the Body of Christ.
This is what author, missiologist and international speaker Don Richardson says about Richard and One Church Many Tribes: “Richard Twiss, a Lakota Native American in a predominantly Anglo America, reminds me of Joseph, long ago leader of a Hebrew community in ancient Egypt. To be sure, Egyptians gave Joseph dire cause to feel cynical about Egyptians. But Joseph, rising above cynicism, blessed an undeserving nation, a nation that initially enslaved him. Native people across North America have at least as much basis for cynicism about us as Joseph had for Egyptians. Richard Twiss, like a modern Joseph, is calling Christian Native people to rise above cynicism and fulfill a Joseph-like destiny in today’s strife-riven world. Richard is one of a new group of articulate Native Christian leaders. I urge pastors to invite Richard and other spokespersons he lists in this marvelous book as speakers in church conferences. It is my hope that Christians everywhere will pray for these new leaders. Their message is like a healing balm for the many racist wounds inflicted over time.”
One Church, Many Tribes is not merely a book about Native Americans. It is about God's heart for Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. I heartily recommend it.
Tommy Tenney
An outstanding book that will bring compassion and reconciliation between diverse peoples created in the image of God and for whom Christ died. Highly recommended.

Richard Twiss's vision and committment to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through innovative methods that do not comdemn the cultures of Native people makes my heart glad.
