If this book serves to highlight just one truth, I hope it’s that real beauty can come from the ashes of our country’s history with racism. So we continue to spread the message. As the apostle Paul declared, “Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others.”4 We keep inviting people into the work because we’ve come to know that race is a social and political construct that has no place in the kingdom of God.
