Be the Bridge: Pursuing God’s Heart for Racial Reconciliation
(WaterBrook, 2019)
WHO: Latasha Morrison, founder of Be the Bridge.
SHE SAYS: “God is inviting all of us to be active participants in racial reconciliation, to show the world that racial unity is possible through Christ.”
THE BIG IDEA: The church needs to understand the history and emotional impact of racial divisions to have a distinctive and transformative response to racism.
THE PROGRESSION:
Part 1, “The Bridge to Lament,” lays the framework for restoration, followed by Part 2, “The Bridge to Confession and Forgiveness.” The book wraps up with Part 3, “The Bridge to Restorative Reconciliation,” an honest look at what it will take for every Christian to be committed to pursuing justice and racial unity.
“Identify racial wrongs in the world around you and take one step toward making them right. That’s the work of reparation. That’s the work of the gospel.”
