We’ve all grown from reading these books. Nancy Neuse said this about There is a Balm in Huntsville: “A friend gave us a copy and I quickly read it. Written by T. Carlos Anderson (Tim) of Austin, I remember the accident this story is based on. Tim preached at First English, last summer I believe, and his work with restorative justice is to me, very hopeful. Forgiveness, redemption, change—all can occur. Just my emotional riff on this book.”
NOT ONE OF US knows all we need to know about the history and status of racial injustice in America. Join us in facing the facts.
