challenging dark emotional hopeful informative sad medium-paced

5.0

This book gave me literal nightmares—and I mean that as a compliment. I tried to read it academically, but the contents of these pages refused to be so dryly categorized. An incisive historical look at how the White church has supported and perpetuated racism in the United States. This is a book that every American, and certainly every White Christian American, should read.

Highly recommended reading for anyone who grew up in or is currently a member of the white American Evangelical church. Learning about the church's messy history is uncomfortable, but so necessary for repentance and growth.
