God's call to the church is to love not just those who are easy to love, but also those we would rather avoid or ignore. Leroy Barber, a leading voice in reconciliation and justice, provides a rousing exhortation to build relationships across barriers, offering practical advice on how to do so. Embrace the challenge to show a divided world the bridge-building power of God's love.
Exploring the theme of divine calling, the author shares insights from his experiences in inner-city ministry and with young people, emphasizing that God often speaks through everyday struggles and injustices rather than grand events. By reflecting on biblical heroes' stories and his own work, he illustrates how individuals can play a vital role in manifesting God's kingdom on earth. The book encourages readers to recognize their potential for meaningful change within their immediate surroundings.
