One Blood: Parting Words to the Church on Race and Love by John M. Perkins contains the hard earned life long wisdom of a man who has spent his entire life working to repair and strengthen relationships between blacks and whites in America. The main institution through which he has worked is the church. If members of the church of Jesus Christ can't get along, how can we expect people outside to?
Perkins knows what the church is capable of and uses the book to encourage her in that way. He has forged relationships with men and women of all races through the shared connection of a faith in Jesus Christ. The church has led in this area in the past in America, but has recently not been the leading force it once was. Perkins uses One Blood as a call to the church in America to once again step to the forefront in this vital issue.
One Blood is easy to read and understand. It includes a discussion guide in the back with helpful questions to discuss the content of each chapter. There are also profiles of several pastors who are leading thriving multicultural churches throughout America. They all prove that multicultural churches can happen in any area of America, as long as those leading it are intentional about pursuing people of all races.
