An inspiring and actionable guide to moving toward racial healing by seeing your Black Neighbor through "Love Lenses" that flow from God's deep devotion.
Jesus calls you to love your neighbor, and in the fight against racial injustice, that call includes your Black Neighbor: your Black colleagues, the Black congregants at church, the Black family in your neighborhood. Yet maybe you're unsure of how best to show your love, or maybe you fear either saying or doing the wrong thing.
In Loving Your Black Neighbor as Yourself, Chanté Griffin equips you to see and love your Black Neighbor with God's deep, holistic love. Using Black Love Lenses birthed from African American cultural values, you'll learn meaningful ways through which you can see and care for your Black Neighbor:
- Intimacy: cultivate intentional closeness and community
- Honor: show overflowing respect and love
- Stand Up: use your voice and influence to stand up
- God's-Gifts: allow God's resources to flow through you to your Black Neighbor
- The Spirit of Love: love lavishly through intercessory prayers
Through guided readings, prayers, and heart checks, you'll undergo a spiritual and relational transformation that grows a deeper love for your Black Neighbor and yourself. Are you ready to answer Jesus's call?
A thoughtful investigation into the incredible true story of a Black man convicted and exiled under the Oregon Exclusion Law in 1851-and a contemporary White woman wrestling with racism and faith after learning she's a descendant of two men who assisted in the exile.
"A beautiful rendering of an ugly history. A worthy read."-Chanté Griffin, advocate, journalist, and author
Moving back to the outskirts of Portland, called the "Whitest city in America," prompted Sarah's curiosity about the colonization of the West, her ancestors, and the legal exile of a Black man. She examined four city leaders involved in Jacob Vanderpool's case-Oregon City's founder, the case judge, Jacob's accuser, and a local pastor-and the cultural and theological fallout of their decisions. Along the way, Sarah took a hard look at her tendencies, unconscious and deliberate, to ignore the possibility of prejudice in her heart.
Vanderpool's case proved a fascinating lens on a far bigger story than one trial, illuminating truths to help us all come to honest terms with our past, learn to repent, and contribute to the good of the people and places around us.
Journey through this sensitive expedition into the events that remain a thorn under America's skin and discover afresh the vast potential of the flawed but endlessly redeemable-human heart.
