Review
Brian Bantum
"-- Seattle Pacific University"
This powerful book displays the subversive possibilities of confession and calls the church beyond good intentions in the work of racial justice. A truly original work.
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
-- author of "Strangers at My Door"
A gospel for white people, this book calls for nothing less than laying down the trump card of reconciliation for the sake of true repentance and conversion. Jennifer Harvey is proclaiming truth. Listen to her.
Reggie L. Williams
-- author of "Bonhoeffer s Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance"
One of the most valuable contributions to the work of anti-racism in recent years. Harvey demonstrates with compelling accuracy and clarity why popular Christian dialogue about racial reconciliation does not work but in fact only serves to reinscribe historic, systemic problems. . . . Provides readers with an accessible study of a way forward.
Lisa Sharon Harper
-- coauthor of "Forgive Us: Confessions of a Compromised Faith"
"Dear White Christians" is a must-read. This kind of unflinching analysis is both rare and powerful. Through thorough analysis coupled with prophetic vision, Harvey decodes the mystery of the failure of the racial reconciliation movement and offers clear direction forward toward the repair of our racialized society. All seminarians and pastors should read this book. And if every person in the pews of white churches read Harvey s love letter to them, then our nation might actually have a chance to realize Dr. King s vision of the beloved community.
Eboni Marshall Turman
-- author of "Toward a Womanist Ethic of Incarnation"
A timely and indispensable contribution to the field of Christian social ethics. Harvey offers a reparations paradigm as the first step toward racial healing in the church. . . . An essential read for those who love the body of Christ and yearn for justice.
"The Presbyterian Outlook"
A provocative analysis of the current state of race relations. . . . For those who are willing to look deeply into our history to remember, to repent and to repair this book is a most valuable resource.

Marginalia
"Compelling. . . . An excellent contribution in terms of showing the way forward on racial justice issues."
Sojourners
"One of the clearest and most succinct diagnoses of the inadequacies of the popular reconciliation paradigm."

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
