Overview

Jesus predicts division. It is an inevitable part of our experience as sojourners living as temporary guests in our earthly dwelling. Yet, Christ also calls for unity among believers and makes a way through the cross--the place where divisions die, and God's love redeems. How can we reconcile these seemingly contradictory promises of division and unity, especially when the things that divide strike at the very core of our being? In Homeward, the author shares lessons from her journey through race and faith. In what is a blend of personal reflection and cultural analysis, the author invites readers into ordinary stories across childhood, marriage, parenting, family loss, and vocation to reveal the heart of an extraordinary God. The book is just that--an invitation to relationship, understanding, and hope with a desire to focus on the One who can orient our hearts toward a love that restores all things. Each chapter introduces readers to a set of redemptive moves, small but powerful acts that can help us grow in humility and grace on the journey to God, our home. Come join a soul-stirring journey toward healing that points to the God of redemption!

""Homeward invites us to an unrestrained journey of curiosity about faith and race. Dr. Mayo has graced us with tender insights from her story, told with her characteristic warmth and authenticity. This is a helpful read for those interested in how the Christian faith helps us pursue a peaceable kingdom by better understanding that we are all neighbors."" --JoAnn Flett, Executive Director, Center for Faithful Business, Seattle Pacific University ""This book questions us, challenges us, but provides us with scriptural guardrails to help us stay the course. A must-read for everyone who is serious about their spiritual journey through these turbulent times!"" --Chinaka S. DomNwachukwu, Dean, James R. Watson & Judy Rodriguez Watson College of Education, California State University, San Bernardino ""As Sandra invites us into her story, she also invites us into the greatest story of all--the redemptive and unifying work of Christ on the cross. The question that reverberates throughout the book is this: Will we meet at the foot of the cross, despite our differences, and love one another as Christ loved us? A beautifully written book. Prepare to be inspired and challenged."" --Stan Coppinger, Professor of Writing and Literature, LeTourneau University
