Book recommendations
There are numerous books on the subject of Racial Righteousness, both Christian and secular.
No single book will capture all the nuances of such a complex, important topic and you may find some of the content of these books objectionable for one reason or another. Nonetheless we believe that Christians can engage with these topics charitably, with open minds and discerning hearts. Even a book that you fundamentally disagree with can be a helpful tool for further learning, discussion and transformation.
From time to time, the Long Obedience Team holds book group discussions on certain titles.
