Before you can do whatâs right, you have to see whatâs right.
When it comes to racial reconciliation, we often ask, âWhere do we go from here?â But has it ever occurred to you that the real question is âWhy are we still here?â In other words, until weâve seen the problem of racism correctlyâits history, its current effects, and its root causesâwe arenât equipped to head in the right direction. Weâll just keep falling into the same old patterns. The blind will lead the blind, and no one will have the vision to foster real change.
But take hope! Restoring our spiritual sight is exactly what Jesus came to achieve.
In this book, Josh Clemons and Hazen Stevensâone white, one black, and both brothers in Christâwill invite you to start the journey toward racial reconciliation and justice. Join us as we:
Know the story of racism in the West, the churchâs complicity in it, and how that story impacts each of us Own our own contributory roles in the present and historic sin of racism Change the story by getting involved with the laboriousâyet glorious!âwork of racial reconciliation and justice
In Know. Own. Change., the authors set aside the worldâs patterns of division and hate. Instead, they set a tone that emerges from spiritual kinship in Christ. Every page seeks to honor Him, pointing believers back to Jesus as the one who is reconciling all things to himself.
