Under Our Skin: Getting Real about Race–And Getting Free from the Fears and Frustrations That Divide Us by Benjamin Watson

5.0

This was an excellent and quick read. Every person who calls themself a Christian should be reading this book. It was truly enlightening to read about the ways that blacks are continually prejudiced against in daily life, even years after segregation ended. Much of these claims were backed up with facts and personal experience.

This is one of the best books I have read recently. While I call myself a Christian, I believe that there needs to be a tangible way to direct racial dialogue and take action if we truly want to see change. I thought at first this book would focus too much on “letting God change our hearts and that’s how we’ll solve racial tensions.” This is an important message, but it is backed up very well.
