Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Isolation beyond your control is a very cruel space to exist within. In this exquisitely written, timely, and poignant wake-up call for Christians, Jodi challenges us to reexamine our prejudices when it comes to alienating others—both consciously and subconsciously. Through resonant personal anecdotes that provide perspective and comparison, as well as practical tips for chipping away at bias and tools for integration, she implores us to develop our compassion and empathy as we live out our faith in these trying times.”
