North Carolina's Moral Monday protests have drawn tens of thousands of protestors in what has been called the new Civil Rights Movement. Forward Together: A Moral Message for the Nation shares the theological foundation for the Moral Monday movement, serving as a proclamation of a new American movement seeking equal treatment and opportunity for all regardless of economic status, sexual preference, belief, race, geography, and any other discriminatory bases. The book will also serve as a model for other movements across the country and around the world using North Carolina as a case study, providing useful, practical tips about grassroots organizing and transformative leadership.
"In the summer of 2013, Moral Mondays gained national attention as tens of thousands of citizens protested the extreme makeover of North Carolina's state government and over a thousand people were arrested in the largest mass civil disobedience movement since the lunch counter sit-ins of 1960. Every Monday for 13 weeks, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber led a revival meeting on the state house lawn that brought together educators and the unemployed, civil rights and labor activists, young and old, documented and undocumented, gay and straight, black, white and brown. News reporters asked what had happened in state politics to elicit such a spontaneous outcry. But most coverage missed the seven years of coalition building and organizing work that led up to Moral Mondays and held forth a vision for America that would sustain the movement far beyond a mass mobilization in one state. A New Reconstruction is Rev. Barber's memoir of the Forward Together Moral Movement, which began seven years before Moral Mondays and extends far beyond the mass mobilizations of 2013. Drawing on decades of experience in the Southern freedom struggle, Rev. Barber explains how Moral Mondays were not simply a reaction to corporately sponsored extremism that aims to re-make America through state legislatures. Moral Mondays were, instead, a tactical escalation in the Forward Together Moral Movement to draw attention to the anti-democratic forces bent on serving special interests to the detriment of the common good"--
After more than 1800 years of division between Christendom and the Hebrew roots of our faith, maybe it is time to go back and consider the breach. Millions around the world are doing just that and finding that maybe, in jettisoning everything that looked 'Jewish, ' we mistakenly threw out some very important parts of our faith that Scripture clearly says are 'forever.' Repairing the Breach explores a number of these issues of division and considers what Scripture says as compared to doctrines and traditions handed down from our fathers. If you are looking for a compassionately written, first-hand exploration into these ancient paths and our need to reconsider the Way of our Father, then this is the book. Together, with seminary trained author, Pete Rambo, you can discover what it means to be repairers of the breach, restorers of the streets on which to dwell. (Isaiah 58:12)
De Jesaus gives nine examples of courageous people in the Scriptures--men and women who recognized "gap" situations and trusted God to use them to make a difference. God is asking, "Will you stand in the gap for my sake and my glory?"
