"Required reading for clergy, lay leaders, and interested citizens alike"

Nationally recognized civil rights leader and pastor Jay Augustine offers a prophetic call to recover reconciliation as the heart of the church's message to a divided world.

"With a clear-eyed realism about the ways faith has been distorted to justify white supremacy, Augustine invites the church to face the demons that still haunt our public life and to discover the resources in our tradition for a moral witness that offers humanity a future together. God, grant us wisdom to receive the vision and courage to practice it together with our neighbors."
--Bishop William J. Barber II, president of Repairers of the Breach; cochair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

"Called to Reconciliation is an interdisciplinary study--rich in metaphors, deep in theology, and versed in history--of the urgent need for reconciliation with God and neighbor. All Christians are called to be ministers of reconciliation. This book is an invitation to rediscover this call and to be encouraged and equipped to respond affirmatively and wholeheartedly."
--Edgardo Colón-Emeric, dean, Duke Divinity School; director, Duke Center for Reconciliation

"An absolute force of a book, required reading for clergy, lay leaders, and interested citizens alike. Augustine not only makes the case for reconciliation in the church but also lays out a clear road map for anyone who wants to take a step toward inclusion but does not know how. He has done the church, and the world, a great service."
--Joshua DuBois, faith-based advisor to President Barack Obama; author of The President's Devotional

"At one of the most divided times in our nation since the Civil War, Augustine pleads with believers from different groups to embrace 'the Other' in a mutually beneficial and diverse community. This is truly a must-read."
--Barbara Williams-Skinner, co-convener, the National African American Clergy Network; author of I Prayed, Now What?
