Paperback. A compelling call to action that weaves together powerful personal stories and keen sociological analysis In this remarkable book, authors Michael Evans, David McFadden, and Michael Emerson combine personal narratives and sociological research to teach Christians how to work together for racial justice. The authors begin by sharing their stories. Michael Evans and David McFadden--friends since grade school--are Black and grew up in the rough neighborhoods of Chicago's south side. Michael is a pastor and has ministered in the very neighborhoods where he was raised; David is a medical doctor. The third author--Michael Emerson, who is white--grew up in white communities that were close geographically to his coauthors' neighborhoods, but a world away socially. The authors then interpret their experiences through the lens of sociology, drawing on research to explain how injustice can exist on multiple levels. The micro level consists of individuals, relationships, and families; the meso level comprises organizations such as churches and collective activities such as social movements; and the macro level encompasses entire institutions such as the criminal justice system or the educational system, as well as laws and policies. The authors offer practical strategies for pursuing racial justice on all three levels--strategies designed to overcome inequality and draw Christians from diverse backgrounds and circumstances together in the family of God. A compelling call to action, Kingdom Racial Change will engage the hearts and minds of Christians seeking racial righteousness and reconciliation. "Drawing on their own life stories as well as sociological research, the authors offer strategies for overcoming racial barriers in the Christian church"-- Provided by publisher.
