Another amazing and thought provoking read by MR. Tisby. With all the recent events in the past several years, this book comes right on time. In it, the author gives sound advice as to what the church can do to combat the sin of racism, especially in the church, where it seems to have run amuck. This should be read by every christian, but unfortunately, some don't like to be called out, so the ones that really need to read it probably won't. It was a very well written book. So much so, I bought a hard copy to have as a reference. Well done

Another winner from the incomparable Jemar Tisby!! Even though it's short and a quick read, Tisby offers a cornucopia of ideas for steps people, both Black and white, can take to truly pursue and work for racial justice. The "why" is often pretty brief- but that's not the aim here. This book isn't for someone new to the concept of racial justice. If that's you, save this for later- and maybe start with Tisby's foundational work, The Color of Compromise, a MUST for all Christians. What I appreciated the most in this work, as a Christian myself, is how often Tisby correlates his words here with the words of Scripture. This is one of the problems we in the Christian community face so often pursuing work in justice- that it's easy for other Christians to paint the work of justice as a 'secular' issue and not Biblically based. However the demand for justice, and the need to actively work to create equity and repair injustice is the work that God commands us to do through the Bible. Thank you for always keeping that front and center here, Jemar!!!
