Overview

Now, more than ever, America needs its churches to stand and unite for the betterment of all. No other entity is capable of bridging our growing racial and political divisions. Yet, this is not just another book about racial reconciliation or the sins of Christianity's past. It is instead part history, part societal analysis, part vision, and part strategy. And it is a must-read for anyone interested Christianity's role in modern American social change. Weaving an intricate causal tapestry, the author links the historical racism that split America's Protestant denominations with the growth of the isolated church silos in which Christians now worship and society's success in maligning Christianity. He unveils the means by which society has labeled many of Christianity's core tenets as racist and exposes the social, political, and distinctly racial gaps that infect the American Christian landscape. Then, through the lens of the slow drip of societal change, the author illuminates how and why Christian blacks and Christian whites came to fight as if on a smoke-engulfed battlefield, warring with one another while unwittingly supporting society's ongoing efforts to diminish Christianity's reputation, reach, and impact. Finally, he offers specific ideas for a unified approach toward a nation in need of God's love and details the bold, unprecedented actions that both Christian whites and Christian blacks must take. By becoming upright as the Bible commands, and changing the way they think, speak, act, and interact, Christians can clear the smoke from the battlefield, unite in action across denominations and races, and bring solutions to society's biggest issues and a New Awakening to the faith. This book is written for those who want to break down the walls of the church silos in their communities and unite Christians across racial boundaries towards common goals and the betterment of society for the glory of God.
