How to Heal Our Racial Divide

What the Bible Says, and the First Christians Knew, About Racial Reconciliation

De: Derwin L. Gray

Narrado por: Derwin L. Gray

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 listening to 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.

Eye-opening, persuasive, and impassioned

Dr. Gray makes a convincing case for the Church's intentional pursuit of multi-ethnicity. His argument and delivery was persuasive and convicting. I recommend this book to any Christian.

Practical, challenging, & biblical book on race!

First, I love its read by the author. Second, the book will challenge you from all angles. Third, the book gives you practical next steps and language to talk race to your community/members. Perfect book for a perfect time!

This is the Biblical Playbook for Racial Unity

Dr Derwin Gray humbly addresses one of the most difficult and divisive topics for generations. He does so from a biblical perspective while providing practical application. This book is a must read for any one who claims to love God's people.

Great Book

Thank you, Pastor Gray for being an agent of redemptive reconciliation. God bless you for your faithfulness in dealing with this challenging subject!

Loved this book

This might be the best book on racial reconciliation for the church that I have ever read.

Open my eyes, Lord

Thank you, Dr Gray for showing me institutional racism where I thought there was none; for gently but firmly pointing out how my white lenses were distorting my views and interpretation of the motives of others. This was a much-needed exposee for me, delivered in a tone in which I could receive it. God wants a family that loves one another.

Powerful - scriptural perspective

This is my second book to read by Dr. Gray, and I enjoyed as an audiobook by the author.

I appreciate many things about this book, but above all I appreciate the foundation of scripture. He has changed how I viewed the early church through the familiar stories and made clear just how revolutionary Jesus and the disciples were to bring unity out of diversity. We are the body of Christ.

Eye opening and thought provoking

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a Jesus and biblically centered approach to race and racial reconciliation. I would especially recommend it to any “White Moderate” or someone who is just confused or maybe angry when it comes to the subject.

Derwin does a fantastic job getting to the roots of the Bible, society, racial history and tensions, and he does a wonderful job showing that a straight left wing or right wing approach is not the answer.

As an audio book, the quality is perfect. Derwin’s voice is very easy to listen to and I love hearing the book directly from the author.

Highly recommend this.

Life Transforming

Loved every minute of this wonderful perspective on how to heal our racial divisions. I see areas where I can make changes in my own approach to the issue. The biases are real from all sides. This book sheds great light on how we can all accept and enjoy the diversity God intends for His diverse family.

I wish the world would read this!

Such a beautiful invitation for us all to seek healing, have the hard conversations, humble ourselves and love each other the way Jesus does.
