John M. Perkins was born in the 1930s in Mississippi to a sharecropping family and lived through the hate-filled and tumultuous decades thereafter. Transformed by the gospel as a young man, he has dedicated his life to biblical reconciliation. Now, at age 87, he shares the parting truths he wants the church to hear while there’s still time.
One Blood looks at everything from lament and forgiveness to racial tensions and mutual fear in light of the gospel. You’ll learn why “racial reconciliation” isn’t the goal. You’ll be heartened by stories of heroes past. And, most importantly, you’ll learn how to walk forward on the path towards biblical reconciliation in your own life.
