The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration
by Isabel Wilkerson (Goodreads Author) |
|
"The story by itself is maybe a 2 star for me. It reads like a YA book, the main character is annoying, young, but also emotionless and obsessed with starting her own religion (cult?) which didn't interest me. +1 star for the fact this was written in "

“It is charity only in the sense of the original meaning of the word, the one that comes from charis, or grace. And for Christians it is the sharing of a grace that has been given generously to us. Our work in the world, our grateful sharing of the grace we have received, is about loving a broken world enough to want to fix it. It’s about continually trying, even though we know we never will quite succeed. Not entirely, anyway. But because we are witnesses of the triumph of God’s love over sure destruction, we know that our work in this life will never be entirely in vain. It can’t be if we believe, in any way, that resurrection is true.”

“We must reacquaint ourselves with the Scriptures, learning to read them in life-giving ways. Truly, many of us have been deeply hurt by those who have used the Bible to tear us down. It is tempting to respond by walking away entirely from what hurts us. But if we do that, we are ceding to the fundamentalist and literalist Christians of this world our birthright and inheritance. Instead, progressive Christianity must help seekers to fall in love with Scripture. We must teach ways in which Scripture can both be read with twenty-first-century eyes and yet also be cherished as timeless. Scripture”

“people who come through your doors and stay are there not because they have to be, but because they want to be. And that is very good news. I would rather have a congregation of one hundred people committed to walking on a journey of faith together than a packed sanctuary of five hundred people who won’t think about God again until next Sunday morning. The church of the willing will always be able to go deeper than the church of obligatory attendees. But when the willing come to our doors (or, if they are already there, decide to stay) we have to do some deep reflection on ourselves, on who we are, and on who we will be in the world.”
