Yoked

"Do not be unequally yoked."  Christians quote the comman constantly, but what does it actually mean?  Is it only about marriage?  Does it apply to friendship, business, ministry, money, family, and purpose?  Can two believers still be badly matched?  And does being equally yoked mean two people must be alike in every area?  In Yoked, Lucius Alston takes the familiar biblical principle far beyond a dating slogan.
 Beginning with Scripture and moving into real life relationships, the book examines the difference between ordinary human differences and the deeper incompatibilities that can pull two people toward different distinations. Written with particular concern for the black community, YOKED rufuses the easy war between black men and black women.  Instead, it confronts faith, history, family breakdown, incarceration, economic pressure, trauma, expectations, gender conflict, preparation, character, and personal responsibility , without pretending that any single factor explains everything
