Dear White Peacemakers: Dismantling Racism with Grit and Grace
by Osheta Moore
This book is a gift. Pastor Osheta, thank you for sharing your heart, your wisdom, you vision for God's people in community with one another. Thank you for modeling the heart of Jesus so well.
From the first pages of the introduction, I immediately knew this book was not only going to teach me about dismantling racism, but it was going to speak to the reader on a soul level, and it did all the way through. The topic is challenging, but the book is easy to read. It's part guidebook, part heart-to-heart, part counseling session, and steeped in scripture all the way through. Osheta leads us with love and grace, but doesn't pull punches either. However, when she calls out, she also calls higher. This book could be a starting place for someone, but also has plenty to say to a reader who is already learning and doing the work of antiracism.
I was fortunate to get access to an advanced reader ebook copy, but I still ended up pre-ordering a hardcopy. I want this book on my shelves so I can read through it again, scribble in the margins, and lend it out to friends. This is a treasure of a book for our time.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free review copy of this book.
