Pastor Rob recommends …
One: Unity in a Divided
World (2017)
Deidra
Riggs sets the tone for relationships across racial and political lines from a
Christian perspective. That last part,
"a Christian perspective," is the key for appreciating Riggs's work. The market is being flooded with excellent
literature on race relations. Riggs'
book is extremely important because she writes first and foremost as a follower
of Christ. That above everything else
defines her and sets the tone for her work.
This is as it should be for a disciple of Jesus interested in racial justice
work and reconciliation. Jesus defines
how we understand justice. Too many
Christian writers insist that our sense of justice defines our view of
Christianity. It's supposed to be the
other way around and Deidra Riggs demonstrates this beautifully.
