Be the Bridge : Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation by LaTasha Morrison; Daniel Hill (Foreword by); Jennie Allen (Afterword by)
ISBN: 0525652884
Publication Date: 2019-10-15
A leading advocate for racial reconciliation calls Christians to move toward deeper understanding in the midst of a divisive culture. In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening. But change begins with an honest conversation among a group of Christians willing to give a voice to unspoken hurts, hidden fears, and mounting tensions. These ongoing dialogues have formed the foundation of a global movement called Be the Bridge—a nonprofit organization whose goal is to equip the church to have a distinctive and transformative response to racism and racial division. In this perspective-shifting book, founder Latasha Morrison shows how you can participate in this incredible work and replicate it in your own community.

Review

This book is meant to encourage racial reconciliation among all ethnicities and promote racial unity in America.

I wanted to learn more about how to be an ambassador of racial reconciliation so we can build a community of people at CTX who share healthy dialogue about race.

It is a helpful book to learn more about the problems that we face with racial inequity and how to make steps toward overcoming those problems.
