This book is a must-read for every parent seeking to learn, understand, and guide their families to engage in this critically important topic and time.”—Vivian Mabuni, speaker, author of Open Hands, Willing Heart, and founder of Someday Is Here (podcast)“In The Race-Wise Family, Helen Lee and Michelle Reyes relieve some of the pressure from adults who wonder where and how to lead their families in racial justice. This book is as tender as it is helpful. If families across the nation implemented even a fraction of what the authors suggest in The Race-Wise Family, we would see generational transformation.”—Jemar Tisby, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism“Lee and Reyes are lovers of Jesus, people, and their families, and they offer a better way to help our children understand the complexities of racism and the hope we find in Scripture.
