Critic reviews

“This is a thoughtful volume on raising Christian, anti-racist children.”—Publishers Weekly

“As parents we can become overwhelmed by the conversation on race, not knowing where to turn and which voices to trust. Helen Lee and Michelle Reyes are two leaders I know, trust, and respect. This book is a must-read for every parent seeking to learn, understand, and guide their families to engage in this critically important topic and time.”—Vivian Mabuni, speaker, author of Open Hands, Willing Heart, and founder of Someday Is Here (podcast)

“In The Race-Wise Family, Helen Lee and Michelle Reyes relieve some of the pressure from adults who wonder where and how to lead their families in racial justice. This book is as tender as it is helpful. If families across the nation implemented even a fraction of what the authors suggest in The Race-Wise Family, we would see generational transformation.”—Jemar Tisby, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism

Only read first couple chapters and very disappointed

I was so excited and wanted to share with my family but just the beginning of this book presents clearly that white people and police are bad. I am sad that disliking people is being promoted.
