Praise for Be the Bridge "
Be the Bridge is a must-read. Our country continues to experience increasing polarization and violence. The practical lessons laid out in the book, along with the personal and corporate action steps can bring about the change needed to see true, lasting kingdom restoration. Latasha Morrison is a leader of integrity who lives out the values and principles she presents. In a beautiful blend of history and personal experience, she fills the pages with both the why's and how's surrounding racial reconciliation. I highly, highly recommend this book."
--Vivian Mabuni, speaker and author of Open Hands, Willing Heart
"As one of the original members of her first 'unofficial' Be the Bridge group, I know that no one can build bridges like Tasha Morrison can. But with this book as our guide, we can certainly learn how to witness humanity, love, and empathy in a whole different light. Tasha has woven her own vulnerable stories into a beautiful testament to what it means to
Be the Bridge. This is a must-read "
--Jessica Honegger, founder and co-CEO of Noonday Collection "There's much talk about reconciliation--both in our larger culture and in the Church. This is good but if we're not careful, we'll end up with much more talking, analyzing, and self-righteous finger-pointing. Certainly, words matter but they seem empty without a deep commitment and embodiment. This is why I'm grateful for Latasha Morrison's book,
Be The Bridge. Morrison has written an incredibly timely and necessary book that's pastoral, prophetic, and practical. But most of all, it's very personal. In other words, Morrison embodies what she preaches as a genuine bridgebuilder."
--Rev. Eugene Cho, founder of One Day's Wages and author of Overrated "Morrison tone's is firm yet compassionate. . . . Though aimed at church groups, Morrison's clear-eyed vision will aid any reader trying to understand and overcome systemic, internalized racism."
