Breaking Down Walls Audio: A Model for Racial Reconciliation in an Age of Racial Strife

Rating:
Summary: Very good -- a must if you care.
Review: I have never read a book on race relations that offer practical help like this. The eight principles are both profound and practical for everyday life. It is well written too! Get it read it and apply it.

Summary: Practical and Powerful
Review: Prejudice is alive and well in America. It's long past time for us as individuals to DO something about it and this book clearly gives several ways we can "break down the walls" of prejudice.

Summary: A helpful response to a critical problem in America.
Review: The concept of race reconciliation (as opposed to, say, strict diversity training or even just integration) is refreshing and timely. More than that, it's a realistic goal. This book successfully delivers an even-handed, practical approach to perhaps one of the most critical domestic crises in America: racial disconnection. While Washington and Kehrein have presented a brilliant solution to the disengagement presently threatening race relations, their bigger accomplishment here is the way in which they transmit the strategy. It should be acknowledged early on, however, that the Breaking Down Walls approach of racial reconciliation is not the flavor-of-the-week answer to racial separation that clutters up a thousand other books and seminars. Certainly this book may seem groundbreaking amid the swelling amount of How-To-End-Racism plans constantly being pushed, but this stratagem of Washington and Kehrein's is hardly a new concept. To the contrary, their principles are securely rooted in a policy of human interaction that dates back 2000 years to the very personal and very real life of Christ. This book implicitly reaffirms something that I don't hear often enough elsewhere: Christians must be an example to the rest of the world of how people can love across color--and culture--lines.

Summary: A very honest protrayel of how to deal with racial stuff.
Review: This needs to be read by anyone who is serious about addressing the racial differences we all face. These men share their personal stories and then the reconciliation principles that have grown out of their experiences. It is down to earth and practical, hard hitting yet enjoyable. A great help without the guilt ladden junk that comes in most racial sensitivity material. Two thumbs up!
