Powerful

I wish my own faith were so strong and ran as deep. I stand condemned!

Excellent Read for Anyone Interested in African American History

Outstanding!!
A Great Comparison to Jesus Christ hanging from the Cross and African Americans hanging from Willow Tree.

Very Thought Provoking Book

I was captivated by this book. I could not stop listening. This book speaks loudly and allowed me as a pastor to use the thoughts and imagery within book to contribute to sermon topics. This book was well put together and forces one to juxtapose Jesus Cross with the Lynching Tree. A must read.

America's Sin... and hope for the future

Everyone who wants to follow Jesus should listen to this book; then repent and do better and NEVER forget!

Revelation 3:22 (NET): The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Required reading

Unflinching and honest, yet marked by hope. If there is an essential book to be read by white Christians, especially those in the south, this is probably the one.

The Cross and The lynching Tree

What an eye opener. Very informative and a great comparison. This is a must read for everyone.

The Cross and Lynching Tree life a life

This is life-giving an essential read for all Black Christians. This book gives us an association with the cross.

A must read for all Christians

Profoundly moving. Gave me as a white South African a profound insight into the deep suffering of our Black Sisters & Brothers.

Superb

A superb correlation of the suffering, beating and lynching Black people endured to the beating suffering and killing of Christ. An interesting analysis of the faith Black people have in Christ in the face of all they have suffered by the hands of whites in the name of Christianity.

This is the most memorable book of my adult life!

I couldn't put this audio down! With a family of 6, I had to sneak away to listen to it. It had me on the cusp of my seat! Great writing and narration!
