[With] The Sin of Racism: How to be Set Free...Selena Johnson has gifted us with a thoughtful, well written, challenging, relevant, loving, Christ-centered effort. I pray everyone who calls himself / herself a follower of Jesus Christ will read this excellent book and puts into practice its wise admonitions.
— The Rev. Cecil Conteen Gray, Ph.D., Pastor, Northwood-Appold United Methodist Church, Baltimore, MD
Ms. Johnson's discussion of the theological dimensions of racism is presented in a passionate, engaging manner...reminiscent of such female African American writers as Maria W. Stewart, Zilpha Elaw, and Marsha Woodard...The Sin of Racism...will challenge any complacency regarding race relations in the larger evangelical Christian community and beyond.
— Beverly E. Mitchell, Associate Professor of Historical Theology at Wesley Theological Seminary
Selena Johnson has reminded us of a very important truth. Racism is not a skin problem but a sin problem. Thank God for the savior Jesus who can set us free, and for Selena who points us in that direction with this book.
— David A. Anderson, Senior Pastor, Bridgeway Community Church and host of the radio talk show, Reconciliation Live!
