Publisher's Description
Decolonial Love in Times of Hatred is not a collection of tidy doctrines or polished devotions; these are raw, personal meditations born in the tension between longing for God’s kingdom and wrestling with life’s brokenness. Rooted in Scripture, shaped by history, and attentive to the Spirit, each entry offers a space to imagine oneself before the Risen Christ incarnated today as a contemporary—bringing fears, hopes, doubts, and dreams into his presence. These writings are not instructions on what to believe, but an open invitation to believe together, especially when encountering suffering, beauty, injustice, and hope. Drawing on the liberating love of Jesus, this forty-day journey invites readers to fast from their own will and align their hearts with God’s transforming purposes. Whether used devotionally, missionally, or in community, these reflections create space for prayer, journaling, and conversation that lead beyond reading and toward living. This is not just forty days of reflection. It is the beginning of a lifelong surrender to Christ’s decolonial love and justice, embodied in every moment, every place, every community.

“Decolonial Love in Times of Hatred is not merely a devotional or collection of spiritual reflections. It is a theological intervention, a pastoral provocation, and a prophetic challenge. In an era of rising ethno-nationalism, ecological devastation, and ideological fragmentation, García-Johnson offers us not escape—but engagement. His framework of decolonial love presents an urgent reorientation of a Christian discipleship toward embodied witness, prophetic tenderness, and public resistance. Its vision of ‘All-The-Way Discipleship’ offers healing to wounded individuals and reorientation to wounded systems.”
“Decolonial Love in Times of Hatred is a prophetic reminder that our discipleship must be shaped not by empire or culture wars, but by the Spirit who calls us deeper into love. These pages invite us to resist shallow faith that bows to power and instead reimagine what it means to belong to God’s kingdom. It is a courageous and necessary vision for those of us longing to follow Jesus all the way.”
