Dear White Peacemakers

As a White person reviewing this book, I can say that I really enjoyed listening to Mrs. Moore’s viewpoints, her own personal experiences & the personal experiences of those she used when writing this book. I would like to think of myself as a White peacemaker though imperfect as I am. I can say that I will strive to do better in that endeavor & humbly appreciate the advice & information gained from listening to her personal story.

Heart changing and life transforming<3

This book changed my heart and transformed my life. The work of racial reconciliation is a long hard road. O'sheta's words will inspire you and guide you how to navigate that road with the peace and love of God's Kingdom.

Challenging and Hope-Lifting

Thank you, Osheta, for inviting me into the messy, sacred spaces of y/our journey towards shalom. Thank you for allowing me to sit shiva with you and my brothers and sisters, while reminding me to wrestle with the truth that we are all Beloved regardless of what we have thought, said or done. I hold on to the Hope because of His victory and the promise of His kingdom justice that we have been called to walk out with Beloveds here on earth.

Stunning, Gracefully Convicting, Vulnerable

As a white woman, I never expect a Person of Color to explain to me how to be a better white person. But when I have the opportunity to learn from someone vulnerable enough to share their historic traumas and furthermore offer an example of God's grace tangibly applied, it is an honor to hear and support their story. I was blown away by Osheta's gracefully convicting message and how she exemplifies God's love to her sisters and brothers in humanity and Christ. A must read for white Christians. A must read for white people looking to acknowledge where they stand in socioeconomic and political spectrums, and who have a desire to use their stage to support indigenous people and persons of color.

balanced view; challenges my beliefs and actions

loved hearing it read by Oshida. very well written and sequenced. More importantly, the author challenges the idea of how Christ would have us process racial peacemaking in this current climate. I believe both white peacemakers (the intended audience) and BIPOC will find themselves reexaminging their assumptions about certain biblical passages. Both audiences with be found with their hearts and attitudes splayed open for God to cleanse and reconstruct to be more loving and more active. Definitely a must read, and process it in a safe, dynamic group.

Just what I needed

This book really connected with me, especially her connecting to Christian faith with anti-racism work. I think this would be a good read for white Christians looking for a book study.

Thank you my friend

I want to say thank you Osheta Moore. Your book, your words are like healing balm to my broken spirit. Your message has inspired me to continue with my journey of racial reconciliation.

Amazing

Peace and anti-racism, a match made in Heaven that is groaning to come down into the earth!

Must-Read for white Christians

Powerful testimony of love and a beautiful, challenging call to peacemaking. I highly, highly recommend!!

A gift of community

Storytelling for more than entertainment. This is the first of Osheta's books that I've read and she has a unique point of view that is important and valuable.
