I was prompted to go and learn more about William Still and his writing (a very interesting excursion). This felt quite dark. It does a great job of describing the problem, but not so well at offering solutions or practices to improve oneself. I got a real sense of guilt and sorrow that are appropriate for Lent, but I hoped for suggestions of ways to become better. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
This Lenten devotional invites readers to learn more about the brutal institution of slavery and its impact on Black people in America and recognize how its evolution and legacy continue to harm their descendants in the United States today. Each of the forty devotions includes the testimony of a person who escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad, a Scripture passage, and a reflection connecting biblical and historical themes to challenge modern readers to work for liberation. Reflecting on Lenten themes of exodus, redemption, discipline, and repentance, readers, both Black and white, will be empowered for the work of racial justice.
