The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism

An acclaimed, timely narrative of how people of faith have historically--up to the present day--worked against racial justice. And a call for urgent action by all Christians today in response. 
The Color of Compromise is both enlightening and compelling, telling a history we either ignore or just don't know. Equal parts painful and inspirational, it details how the American church has helped create and maintain racist ideas and practices. You will be guided in thinking through concrete solutions for improved race relations and a racially inclusive church.
The Color of Compromise:
<ul>
<li>Takes you on a historical, sociological, and religious journey: from America's early colonial days through slavery and the Civil War</li>
<li>Covers the tragedy of Jim Crow laws, the victories of the Civil Rights era, and the strides of today's Black Lives Matter movement</li>
<li>Reveals the cultural and institutional tables we have to flip in order to bring about meaningful integration</li>
<li>Charts a path forward to replace established patterns and systems of complicity with bold, courageous, immediate action</li>
<li>Is a perfect book for pastors and other faith leaders, students, non-students, book clubs, small group studies, history lovers, and all lifelong learners</li>
</ul>
The Color of Compromise is not a call to shame or a platform to blame white evangelical Christians. It is a call from a place of love and desire to fight for a more racially unified church that no longer compromises what the Bible teaches about human dignity and equality. A call that challenges black and white Christians alike to standup now and begin implementing the concrete ways Tisby outlines, all for a more equitable and inclusive environment among God's people. Starting today.

The Color of Compromise Study Guide: The Truth about the American Church's Complicity in Racism

If you did a historical survey of racism in the United States, the overarching theme would be one of compromise and complicity. These uncomfortable realities of the past have been too often minimized or outright denied, and they must be shared in order to have a full accounting of the truth. But there's more to the story of Christianity than merely the failure of its adherents to confront racism. Just as there were those who created and perpetuated racist ideas and actions, there were those who resisted them. The Spirit of Justice reveals the stories of the people who fought against racism and agitated for justice--all in the name of their faith. Through a historical survey of the nation from its founding to the present day, this book gives real-world examples of people who opposed racism, how they did it, what it cost, and what they gained for themselves and others. The Spirit of Justice is a book about the eternal wellspring of hope that helps a people break the bonds of oppression and inspires a legacy of liberation. It is a book about how we, too, can unleash the spirit of justice.

The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance

From&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Jemar Tisby,&nbsp;I Am the Spirit of Justice&nbsp;uses lyrical text and moving illustrations to take children on a journey through the history of the United States of America, highlighting the ways people have been fighting for justice from the very beginning. The fight for civil rights in America didn't begin in the 1960s--Black Americans have been working for justice, freedom, and equality since the first slave ships came to its shores. In&nbsp;I Am the Spirit of Justice, Jemar Tisby demonstrates that that arc of history bends toward equality. Throughout, the spirit of justice is personified as it moves through time, loving the oppressed and supporting the freedom fighters. The poetic text not only informs readers of the countless and often nameless people who have taken up the fight, it also inspires them to continue working for equality for all. I Am the Spirit of Justice&nbsp;is the picture book companion to Jemar Tisby's&nbsp;The Spirit of Justice&nbsp;and is cowritten by author and poet Malcolm Newsome with art by illustrator and activist Nadia Fisher. This beautiful and sweeping book is a great introduction to the history of civil rights for the youngest readers and an important addition to the libraries of anyone working for justice. I Am the Spirit of Justice&nbsp;is ideal for: <ul> <li>Introducing children to important figures in the history of the civil rights movement</li> <li>Inspiring young readers to see the importance of justice in our world</li> <li>Teachers and librarians looking for resources for civil rights education, with an included bibliography and suggestions for further reading</li> </ul>
