Summary

Why must everything be so black and white? Like many of us, Derwin Gray is weary of the racial divide in our society。 He longs to see hurts healed, wrongs corrected, and trust replace distrust。

The good news is that the Bible has a lot to say about how to heal our persistent racial divides。 In this book, popular Bible teacher Derwin Gray walks us through Scripture, showing us the heart of God, how God from the beginning envisioned a reconciled multiethnic family in loving community, reflecting his beauty and healing presence in the world。 This message is central to the gospel itself。

After reading this book, you won't read the Bible the same way again, and you'll want to walk through this eye-opening scriptural journey with your friends or small group。

As founding pastor of Transformation Church, a multiethnic church located in the Charlotte metro area, Derwin knows firsthand the hurdles and challenges to the reconciliation that Scripture commands。 That is why he carefully outlines in this book how to establish color-blessed discipleship in your own church。

Together, we can become the change that God yearns to see in this world。

This book is so good!!! I don’t know what more I could say。 Read it and share it。 Derwin Gray says what needs to be said to the church with so much love and grace that I can’t imagine anyone reading this and walking away not challenged。

Much like a few other books I've read recently (like The New Reformation: Finding Hope in the Fight for Ethnic Unity or Redemptive Kingdom Diversity: A Biblical Theology of the People of God), Gray covers a lot of biblical ground from a theologically conservative viewpoint in order to argue that orthodox Christians need to care about racial justice。 While not particularly new or profound for those familiar with biblical racial justice work, I really appreciated this book for its arguments about Much like a few other books I've read recently (like The New Reformation: Finding Hope in the Fight for Ethnic Unity or Redemptive Kingdom Diversity: A Biblical Theology of the People of God), Gray covers a lot of biblical ground from a theologically conservative viewpoint in order to argue that orthodox Christians need to care about racial justice。 While not particularly new or profound for those familiar with biblical racial justice work, I really appreciated this book for its arguments about why racial justice work is gospel work。 Gray highlights plenty of Scripture and history to show that caring for marginalized peoples is integral to the Good News of the Christian gospel。 I thus recommend this to those interested in learning why racial justice is a part of the gospel, either for themselves or for their skeptical friends。 。。。more

Derwin writes as a fired up theologian ready to break the divide of race all over the world。 One of the best combinations of both historical accounts and biblical exposition on how followers of Jesus are called to be unified and bring the broken divided world back to God。
