Race Dialogue Specialist Charles Holley transforms contentious racial topics into warm conversations. He pens an outstanding book on race that educates and does not indoctrinate. Using a wonderfully balanced blame-free and shame-free writing style, Holley provides engaging material that many reviewers describe as a "non-confrontational approach" and a "soft, constructive appeal" as well as being "an essential book on how to heal America's racism problem."
The author blends four items into one must-read where one reviewer "couldn't put it down." First, he uses the art of storytelling and writes heart-stopping true events from his family's past that make the book "genuinely relatable." Second, he provides historical facts that transcend the transatlantic slave period to bring balance and make it a great educational read. Third, he shares an insightful faith chapter on the Bible and racism that provides a spiritual perspective as he dismantles biblical misunderstandings about race. And fourth, he gives readers innovative communication tools and techniques that reduce contention and promote constructive racial dialogue.
There is a hunger among readers for racial understanding without the negatives of blame, shame, and contention. This book was written to satisfy that hunger. If you are looking to gain racial understanding through writing that feels like a warm conversation with a friend, look no further. Black and White is THE BOOK to read on race.
Highly recommended for all races, Christians, clergy, counselors, educational institutions, and business leaders.
