The Color of Compromise

This was written to expose the reality of the church’s complicity in racism and I think it did that pretty clearly. I will say that there are parts of this book that concern me and I will discuss those in the second half of this review.

In Her Tracks

“I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that walking out that door, leaving these cases unsolved, will be both the hardest and the easiest thing I’ve ever done.” “Why the hardest?” “Because…

Broken (in the best possible way)

Taking God at His Word

“We should not abandon faith in anything God has taught us merely because we cannot solve all the problems which it raises.
