Reconciliation Blues (Large Print 16pt)
Reconciliation Blues (Large Print 16pt) | Edward Gilbreath
2 posts | 1 read
What is the state of racial reconciliation in evangelical churches today? Are we truly united? In Reconciliation Blues journalist Edward Gilbreath gives an insightful, honest picture of both the history and the present state of racial reconciliation in evangelical churches. In his thoughtful overview he looks at a wide range of figures, such as Howard O. Jones, Tom Skinner, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson and John Perkins. Charting progress as well as setbacks, his words offer encouragement for black evangelicals feeling alone, clarity for white evangelicals who want to understand more deeply, and fresh vision for all who want to move forward toward Christ's prayer ''that all of them may be one.''

Considering the current political and social climate, this book is a gentle affirmation of the racial reconciliation that still needs to happen within the church. While it doesn‘t answer some of the direct questions I have, it was a great introduction for me to understand what some of the racial issues that continue to plague the Church. It does cite great further reading that I look forward to getting in pursuit of answers to my questions.

Looking forward to my next book. Have been struggling with the idea of how to reconcile my understanding of God and my Christian faith with people that claim to share my faith but their actions and words to not reflect the teachings of Jesus. Hoping to get some answers and perspective from my brothers and sisters who have dealt with these questions for a long time.
