Quotes
-
This is a thoughtful volume on raising Christian, anti-racist children.
— Publishers Weekly -
As parents we can become overwhelmed by the conversation on race, not knowing where to turn and which voices to trust. Helen Lee and Michelle Reyes are two leaders I know, trust, and respect. This book is a must-read for every parent seeking to learn, understand, and guide their families to engage in this critically important topic and time.
— Vivian Mabuni, speaker, author of Open Hands, Willing Heart, and founder of Someday Is Here (podcast) -
In The Race-Wise Family, Helen Lee and Michelle Reyes relieve some of the pressure from adults who wonder where and how to lead their families in racial justice. This book is as tender as it is helpful. If families across the nation implemented even a fraction of what the authors suggest in The Race-Wise Family, we would see generational transformation.
— Jemar Tisby, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism -
Lee and Reyes are lovers of Jesus, people, and their families, and they offer a better way to help our children understand the complexities of racism and the hope we find in Scripture. With biblical clarity and practical advice, Lee and Reyes take the reader on a journey to a better place, whether the reader is from a minority or majority culture.
— Ed Stetzer, executive director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College -
Helen and Michelle generously invite us to join them in actively building a generation of kingdom-minded children, families, churches, and communities. This is a landmark work for our generation!
— Dorena Williamson, author, bridge builder, and speaker -
Many young families have recently woken up to the deforming impact of our racialized society but are at a loss about how to prepare their children to pursue lives of harmony and justice. This book opens our imaginations to a holistic formation that will align our children (and the adults who love them) more closely with God’s heart for righteousness and reconciliation.
— David W. Swanson, pastor and author of Rediscipling the White Church
