Best of the Subject

Woke Church, An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice by Eric Mason; Forewords by John M. Perkins and Ligon Duncan; 2018; $14.99; 190 pages; Moody Publishers, Chicago, IL; 9780802416988; Purchased from Lifeway Books, Beaverton; 4/6/2020-4/10/2020

Why did I say this is the best of the subject, because it not only points out the problem areas but also gives concrete pointers as to help work on those problem areas.  
Eric Mason effectively points out where the church in the United States has failed to confront racism and injustice in our country.  He shows how the school to prison pipeline works, how systemic racism affects people of color in a disproportionate manner and how the churches in the U.S.  can work individually and in partnership to combat racism and injustice.
