America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America by Jim Wallis

3.0

I found it encouraging and hopeful to read the perspective of Wallis, a White Evangelical, in the conversation of America’s race issues. It made me think that hopefully there are more people like Wallis out there who want to help and actively change. And while Wallis provides some actionable things the church could to, there were too many times when reading where it felt as if he was just praising himself and the work he had done already. Almost to say, “Look what I’ve done, I am so good,” without enough of the “Now it’s your turn to give it a try” to back up his life stories.
