Trouble I've Seen: Changing the Way the Church Views Racism by Drew G.I. Hart, Drew G. I. Hart
5.0
I read the first chapter quickly because it's narrative and easy to follow Hart's story of his experiences. But I took longer to complete the rest of the book because I kept stopping to underline and ponder his points. Then I typed a "notes" page from those underlinings and used them to write an entry in my blog. This after I was less than half done. It was emotional.
I took a break and read some other books but recommend this one to others -- although I had not finished reading it. After several weeks' break, I returned to reading it as the news caught up to what Hart wrote here about how we live in our racialized society, how we've all bought in to the racial divide -- either consciously or unconsciously -- in one way or another.
I like how he links his idea to his faith, how his faith helps him view the world differently. I finished reading it a couple of days ago and highly recommend it to all people of faith.
