In these turbulent times when the ugly stain of racism is at the forefront of our society bringing rampant division and mistrust, we desperately need ways to come together.

To build bridges of understanding between all in the body of Christ, we bring you twenty-three voices of Black Christian women, authors, ministers, educators, leaders, and mothers. Their powerful life experiences and heartfelt wisdom will shake you, open your eyes, and help you understand your sisters in Christ.

From the ways women of color are treated in our society, to raising Black daughters and sons, how a Black woman can have a white supremacist attitude, to how to respond as Christ would have us, their life experiences will be a link in bridging the gap between us with love.

— As a Christian, my response to all the tension, the polarization, and toxic environments currently unfolding in America is to consistently ask the Lord, ”How can I best represent you?” . . . Change starts with you, and includes repentance, listening, being willing to move out of your comfort zone and have empathy for someone who doesn’t look like you. — Mercy Lokulutu

May this powerful volume be a part of the bridge of love and understanding we need to walk across with our sisters.

An interesting collection of personal essays (almost devotions) written by women of color to discuss and bring awareness to their lives in contemporary America. It’s always fascinating, frustrating, heartbreaking, and encouraging to read books like these. It’s eye opening to read about other people’s experiences and learn about some of the hardships they endure today, but it’s also relatable–not in every situation, but in some circumstances that seem to transcend gender or race. But it’s also encouraging to know there are Godly women enduring for Him, who are willing to share their troubling circumstances and still keep their eyes on God.

This definitely isn’t a book everyone will relate to, but it’s a good read to find out about other people’s lives and how their faith manifests in and through their circumstances.
