Dan Tarrant, a Catholic author and tv show host as well as the founder of Personally Catholic, shares his surprising hopes and fears while raising African American children in a racially divided world. In the book Dan writes: "I don't have all the answers to racial injustice in our world, but I know the one who does and that is why I am giving Him my undivided attention as I seek to live in a less divided world." Dan is not a social scientist, historian or activist. He is just a dad who has a family that "stands on both sides of the black and white divide and yet is not divided" and who believes that only when we truly give God our undivided attention will we ever have eyes to see what it really takes to live in a less divided world. In this book Dan openly shares his fears for his African American children as well as what God has taught him while raising them. This is a heart-warming and yet insightful book grounded in real world experiences about one Christian man's approach to discovering the oneness in God we all share. While Dan's experience isn't the experience of every white father nor the experience of every father of African American children, it is the experience of a white father and a father of African American children worth reading. Finally, Dan openly admits that some people will say he is thinking too much like a white person or too much like the father of African American children, or even too much like a Christian. However, to them Dan writes: "Well, I am a Christian with white skin and black children and I'm not sure how else to think." In this book you will discover a unique and Christian path forward toward healing racial division that will lead you closer to those with a different color skin and to God. Dan's voice is certainly one worth listening too among the great choir of voices singing out for a greater unity in our divided world.
