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.

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.

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.
