Let's Start Again

Book excerpt: The race conversation is going to take place with or without you. Don't allow fear to stop you from engaging in it. Too many people have allowed activists, politicians, and the media to frame the parameters of the conversation. There is a loud minority of voices that would have us believe that we must pick a side, that there is no room for common ground. Let's Start Again will help you see that there is an option that unites rather than divides. As you read the stories that Alex and Angela share about their experiences, you will see where you fit into the race relations dilemma and you will be empowered to get in on the conversation. Christ followers have a unique perspective that empowers us to speak with a loving tone that works to unite rather than divide across racial lines. We have a different objective than some of the other voices speaking out about race. Jesus told His followers that the world will know we are Christians by our love for one another. We need to get busy loving and representing Him well to this world that needs to know Him and his reconciling power!
