A leading advocate for racial reconciliation offers a clarion call for Christians to move toward relationship and deeper understanding in the midst of a divisive culture. With racial tensions as high within the church as outside the church, it is time for Christians to become the leaders in the conversation on racial reconciliation. This power-packed guide helps readers deepen their understanding of historical factors and present realities, equipping them to participate in the ongoing dialogue and to serve as catalysts for righteousness, justice, healing, transformation, and reconciliation.

“In the love of the family of God, we must become color brave, color caring, color honoring, and not color blind. We have to recognize the image of God in one another. We have to live despite, and even because of, our differences.”

This had some good information on how Christians can be leaders towards racial reconciliation, while also weaving in stories from the past and present. She definitely made me think.

Kris10H I had a dream last night that I read this book and became obsessed with it. I wonder if my subconscious is trying to tell me something? 4y

A good book, an important read - I‘m interested in learning more about anti racism and it‘s important to see this from within the Christian and church arena also, for those of us who are practicing church goers. Worth a follow on social media too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

White people do not tend to talk about race. Since we don‘t, I did not realize how many of my good willed friends would hold such different views on current events than I do. I‘m aware that I am not equipped to have healthy conversations - even with other good willed people - about race. I have set out to learn, and this is one of the books helping me to work towards having these overdue conversations.

mandarchy Welcome to the work. Anything that makes us better is worth it. Two things that keep me going: 1. don't freeze anyone including yourself in an ugly moment so as not to stop growth. 2. focus on staying in the work and drawing people to the work - instead of pushing them away (example: unfollow racists, don't unfriend them in the hope that they become antiracist). 4y
WorldsOkayestStepMom I joined the Be The Bridge Facebook group a couple years ago and it has been instrumental in my growth into being a better human. I've learned so much and am wanting to get this book too! 4y
CogsOfEncouragement @WorldsOkayestStepMom Agreed. I found the FB group less than a year ago. Their units are incredibly helpful. 4y

Latasha Morrison points out in Be the Bridge that when racial tensions are so high both outside the church and within it, it is important that we as Christians become the leaders in Reconciliation.

Be the Bridge is a power packed guide that helps readers deepen their understanding of historical factors and present realities...
