How We Love Matters

A Call to Practice Relentless Racial Reconciliation

By: Albert Tate, Lecrae Moore - introduction

Narrated by: Albert Tate, Landon Woodson

This powerful book reimagines discipleship by begging us to acknowledge that racism exists in the Church—and offers the hopeful message that we can disciple it out.

It is not an accident that racism is alive and well in the American church. Racism has, in fact, been taught within the church for so long most of us don’t even recognize it anymore. Pastor Albert Tate guides all of us in acknowledging the racism that keeps us from loving each other the way God intends and encourages siblings in Christ to sit together in racial discomfort, examining the role we may play in someone’s else’s struggle.

How We Love Matters is a series of nine moving letters that educate, enlighten, and reimagine discipleship in a way that flips the church on its head. In these letters that include Dear Whiteness, Dear America, and Dear Church, Tate calls out racism in the world, the church, within himself and us. These letters present an anti-racist mission and vision for believers to follow that helps us to speak up at the family table and call out this evil so it will not persist in future generations.

Tate believes that the only way to make change is by telling the truth about where we are—relationally, internally, and spiritually. How We Love Matters is an exposition of relevant Biblical truth, a clarion call for all believers to examine how they see and understand each other, and it is a way forward toward justice, reconciliation, and healing. Because, yes, it is important that we love each other, but it is even more important how we love each other.

Wow. Must Read!

This book is so good! I will be recommending to everyone and probably listening through a second time. Rich, deep, real content and reads like a biography in the best way.
This book is full of Jesus and thats the best compliment I could give.

Powerful and thought provoking

Loving, kind, and direct discussion on how we love one another, particularly when we have cultural and ethnic differences. An invitation to love better.

Powerful Book!

Be prepared for hard conversations that are vital to reconciliation! You WILL be uncomfortable when you read this! It will challenge your thinking and encourage you to move forward toward empathy with our siblings of Color.

Exceptional

The information in this book has Blessed my soul. This is the definition of truth in Love. Well done Sir

Challenged, humbled and inspired!

Just an unbelievable Gospel centric perspective on Christ like Love. I was challenged, humbled, and maybe even a little defensive when I listened to Albert’s words and stories. But as a pastor, who is white, I am challenged because I have a huuuuge Responsibility to share and reflect the “whole Gospel” as I invite everyone to have a seat at the table. Let’s get to work and watch God’s kingdom here on earth flourish

Thank you Albert for allowing the Holy Spirit to speak truth through you
