""This thought-provoking work invites Christians to reflect deeply on how their lives can authentically mirror the compassion of Jesus toward the poor. I wholeheartedly endorse this clarion call to Christlikeness--the only form of Christianity that has the power to transform individuals and nations. It is time for genuine Christians to rise up! The church desperately needs this message. Thank you, Dr. Achampong, for your important contribution!"" --Darlingston G. Johnson, presiding prelate, Harvest Intercontinental Ministries Unlimited ""Professor Achampong brilliantly and admirably argues that Jesus Christ is not only our Lord and Savior, but also our social ethics. This means that the deepest and broadest virtue of the Christian is to embody and express the Christic ideals (devotional and ethical principles) within society. Achampong views the Christian as a living imitation of the moral excellences of Jesus Christ within his or her community. The book calls for a spirituality driven by a desire to transform our character and to care for the 'least of these' in our world."" --Nimi Wariboko, Walter G. Muelder Professor of Social Ethics, Boston University ""God created a single human race in Genesis. Science has substantiated a single human origin from Africa. The Catholic priest and theologian, Father Gustavo Gutiérrez, reminds us that at the heart of Christ's gospel is the primacy of the poor in God's kingdom. So, how can Euro-American Christians harbor prejudice towards non-white Christians and the poor? The Christian as Imitator of Christ seeks to re-orient Christians by reminding us of the history and the distinguishing marks of our faith. It provides a guide to Christian conduct in our contemporary times, and how living in imitation of Christ would make our world a genuinely better place. This is a book every Christian must read."" --Emmanuel K. Akyeampong, Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies, Harvard University ""Some might argue that Dr. Achampong has redefined what it means to be a Christian in post modernity. I would contend that rather than redefine he has rediscovered the original, biblical definition of what being a Christian means. A brief overview of the chapters makes it clear that all that is fundamental to living our faith out in this world is examined in these pages. My hope is that every Christian leader in America and around the globe will read this great work and decide to imitate our Savior in all we say, do, and promote."" --Courtney McBath, president, Virginia Christian College
