Profound. Probing. Resonates deeply with my internal questions about faith and discipleship these days. Helpful in walking through a framework of fear, deception, and hatred towards a life of love towards oppressors and enemies.

picked this up bc MLK kept it in his bag at all times & i was curious to learn why. definitely a reread 5x kinda book. i barely scratched the surface yet i also am left with a deep conviction for what it looks like to find the person behind the position, privileged or unprivileged. it is the essence of the command “love your neighbor” in a context of social, racial and economic injustice.

Foundational is the word that comes to mind. While I try not to take every word Thurman writes and place it into today’s context (something I try to do with any older nonfiction book), I found myself struggling as everything felt like it was addressed to the present. I walk away with more questions than answers, but also with a remembrance to the call of Jesus’s ministry - love knows no bounds, for it is both impartial and partial and calls us to dismantle deception, fear, and hatred.

This is a book where I read a chapter a week in order to disgest the insightful and mystical approaches to life that Howard Thurman beautifully lays out.
