A Parable of Prejudice and Providence

De: Ben Sciacca

Narrado por: Brandon Batchelar

It's hard to talk about race and reconciliation. It helps to have a story we can all wrap our heads around.

So begins a night of tension, anxiety, and difficult conversations for Malik, a young black man from the inner city, and Jim, a middle-aged white man from the suburbs. Brought together by tragic circumstances, they must learn to trust each other through mutual understanding, which means looking past their prejudices to truly see each other....

Powerful

This was an incredible book. it's been a long time since I had a book grip me in such a way that I wanted to just keep listening and listening. Also I think this book does a great job of attacking some of the problems that are going on in this country right now, and it did a great job at the end of giving some encouragement of what the church should be like. Overall it's a great book, and many should read this to at least start a conversation about racial reconciliation.

Great Story

The story was entertaining while providing an interesting perspective and provoked thoughts about the challenges faced by those not in the majority.
