A Mighty Long Journey: Reflections on Racial Reconciliation

Editors Timothy George and Robert Smith Jr. have compiled a collection of essays, sermons, and speeches chronicling the journey to racial reconciliation in the American church. Writers and pastors from various backgrounds reflect on the state of affairs of race relations in the church, the sins of the past, repentance in the present, and redemption for the future. Moving and inspiring, revealing and honest, these reflections will contribute a balm of healing to weary travelers and a well of inspiration for those joining the journey.
