Justice means not being afraid to confront the ways that White Christianity has been inherently unjust towards our Black and brown neighbors. . . . Boswell provides hope that we can band together on the Way of Jesus so that we all ‘make it home’ while doing the anti-racist work that should be inherent in our spiritual formation.”--Angela N.
