Don’t skip this book thinking that it will be depressing or, worse, unnecessary. It is the kind of eye opening work that deserves the readers time and attention. We cannot make progress toward racial justice without an honest evaluation of our previous successes and failings.

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.
