"THE NEW SLAVEMASTERS" - In The New Slavemasters , Bishop McKinney asks the question: Are we really free at last? In his 224-page response, the "new slavemasters" become a powerful metaphor for the contemporary African-American struggle, as well as seemingly insurmountable cycles of destructive behavior that have enslaved people of all walks. The new slavemasters are drugs, materialism, racism, teen pregnancy, rage, gangs, pornography, instant gratification, and sexual promiscuity, among others.
"LET THE CHURCH BE THE CHURCH" - This book is inspired from a series of sermons delivered by Bishop McKinney. This writing was motivated by his deep love and concern for the sleeping giant of the world, God's church at large.The Church can be the Church as we allow our minds to be renewed and as we conform not to the image of this world, but surrender our wills and our resources to the only Sovereign God.
