Synopsis

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.

But I thought that we’d pretty much healed that div......more

Goodreads review by Lucas on April 12, 2023

A book that truly opens a person’s eyes to the brokenness in our churches: specifically with the undermining tone of racism that flows throughout the western hemisphere. This book was hard to read, but also was very encouraging. We as Christ followers are one multiethnic family that come from Abraha......more

Goodreads review by Angela on August 13, 2022

Very sincere in tone, from a loving and gospel-focused standpoint. The first half of the book is an excellent study on the struggles of the early church in handling the spread of the gospel under the great commission. The author is careful to explain that while "race" was not the same issue that it......more

*assigned for my Multicultural Diversity in Counseling class* This was a very solid read that I appreciated being assigned for this semester.
