""Imagine a future where reparations are no longer a should-we conversation, it’s about here’s-how-we’re-currently-approaching-it. Imagine the possibilities that become available when white energy transforms from the cruel and stubborn justification of resource hoarding and trauma denial to desiring well-being for all and having the vision and tools to realize it.” —Debby Irving, author of Waking Up White, and Finding Myself in the Story of Race “If you have ever wondered if reparations are one way to be forgiven for the sins of racism and white supremacy, Peter Jarrett-Schell’s Reparations: A Plan for Churches is what you’re looking for. This honest book shows us Peter’s suggested steps to reach reparations that he formulated with the help of nine mentors who have been doing the arduous work of social justice. This book is as uncomfortable as it is gripping.” —Sandra Montes, Union Theological Seminary
