“Matthew Tennant had just moved to Charlottesville to pastor a church when the so-called Unite the Right rally occurred in 2017. Witnessing the deep divisions between neo-Nazi protesters and antiracist counter-protesters and torn about how to respond, Tennant turned to the Bible for guidance. The result is this book, which confronts the fear driving our polarization and celebrates the shared humanity that we have difficulty seeing across political lines. Urging Christians to ‘Get off the bystander bench and get into the game,’ Tennant crafts a powerful call to be agents of reconciliation in a deeply troubled world.” —R. Marie Griffith, John C. Danforth Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Director, John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics, Washington University, St. Louis, MO
“Wherever you’ve drawn your lines, this book invites you to revisit them. You may realize, for the very first time, that you have drawn lines in the first place....You may still want them, right where they are. But you might decide those lines have been there long enough and think to yourself, ‘I’d like to figure out how to cross over that line.’ This book, my friend, is a good place to begin your journey.” —from the Foreword
