About this ebook
Editor's Note
Peaceful blueprint…
Complementary to “The Color of Compromise,” the principles behind big social justice works like “White Fragility” and “How to be an Antiracist” are explained in this book through a gracious Christian lens by pastor and speaker Moore. “Racism must be dismantled because it is in direct opposition to the kingdom of God,” Moore writes, while providing a helpful and, of course, peaceful blueprint for taking down white supremacy.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is honest, vulnerable, conversational, full of humility, kindness, wisdom and food references…It made me hungry for home cooking. But even more so, it’s whet my appetite to be part of the “beloved community.”
For especially white Christians who want to be peacemakers, I highly recommend pulling a chair up to the table to listen to Ms. Osheta Moore’s perspective. This is one of my favorite books of the year. I highly recommend it.
