God’s Beloved Community

This children’s book from the author of Color-Courageous Discipleship makes the God-inspired dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., accessible to all, helping kids and parents answer God’s call to move from being color-blind to color-brave.

God created a world filled with vibrant varietyand called it good! From flamingos and crows to shooting stars and rainbowsto all our different shades of hair, eyes, and skinGod declared it all very good. Now God calls us to resist racism and proclaim with him how precious all people really are.

With lively rhyming text, this book takes young readers on a biblical and historical journey to discover more about beloved community. Drawing on the biblical vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it explores how we can create communities filled with Gods love as we delight in our differences, stand up to bullying and unfair rules, and declare with our lives and our love that everyone matters to God.Michelle T.
