Publisher's summary
"Justice is something every generation has to strive for."
A trailblazer in the civil rights movement, John M. Perkins led voter registration efforts in 1964, worked for school desegregation in 1967, and was jailed and tortured in 1970. He is no less zealous today as he sees a new generation of freedom fighters battling the same issues and the same systems he has spent his life working to correct.
Through his raw, personal stories spanning from the civil rights era to today, Perkins shows us that, though the fight is not over, there are many reasons to hope and to carry on the good work he and his contemporaries began more than a generation ago. He calls us to work for justice by living out God's redemptive love in all of our relationships.
"It all comes down to love," he says. "Love will always be our final fight."

Story
John Perkins, founder of Voice of Calvary ministries, was born in New Hebron, Mississippi, in 1930. His family was made up of sharecroppers, and he grew up in grinding poverty, part of a system that preserved prejudice and racism. After his brother was killed, Perkins left Mississippi for California, where he found job opportunities, racism of another kind, and faith in Jesus Christ. He returned to Mississippi to share the gospel and help his own people find equality, justice, and economic independence.

We are living in historic times. Not since the Civil Rights Movement of the '60s has our country been as vigorously engaged in the reconciliation conversation. There is a great opportunity right now for culture to change, to be a more perfect union. However, it cannot be done without the church, because the faith of the people is more powerful than any law government can enact.

The belief that all lives matter is at the heart of our founding documents - but we must admit that this conviction has never truly reflected reality in America.

Bill Robinson presents convincing arguments that when leaders emulate these qualities, they will inspire and empower the people they have been called to lead. Reflection and discussion questions and assessment questions make this ideal for group use. Conversational in tone and seasoned with real-life stories from his own successes and failures as a leader, Robinson helps Christian leaders wrestle with four questions that emerge from John's introduction of Jesus, "and the word became flesh and dwelt among us…."

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Story
In this classic theological treatise, the acclaimed theologian and religious leader Howard Thurman (1900-1981) demonstrates how the gospel may be read as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. Jesus is a partner in the pain of the oppressed and the example of His life offers a solution to ending the descent into moral nihilism. Hatred does not empower—it decays. Only through self-love and love of one another can God's justice prevail.

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

John Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our father. In life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood from beloved son to cowboy to warrior to lover to king to sage. Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood - not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us.

Shalom is what God declared. Shalom is what the Kingdom of God looks like. Shalom is when all people have enough. It's when churches, schools, and public policies protect human dignity. Shalom is when the image of God is recognized in every single human. Shalom is our calling as followers of Jesus' gospel. What can we do to bring shalom to our nations, our communities, and our souls? Through a careful exploration of biblical text, particularly the first three chapters of Genesis, Lisa Sharon Harper shows us what "very good" can look like today, even after the Fall.

King's Cross is Timothy Keller's revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. There have been many biographies of Jesus, but few will be as anticipated as this one by Keller, the man Newsweek calls "a C. S. Lewis for the 21st century". In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God.

The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God.

Poverty is much more than simply a lack of material resources, and it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve it. When Helping Hurts shows how some alleviation efforts, failing to consider the complexities of poverty, have actually (and unintentionally) done more harm than good. But it looks ahead. It encourages us to see the dignity in everyone, to empower the materially poor, and to know that we are all uniquely needy - and that God in the gospel is reconciling all things to himself.

This is the only force powerful enough to turn riots into revivals, darkness into light, hardship into triumph, and fear into bold faith.

Story
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove grew up in the Bible Belt in the American South as a faithful church-going Christian. But he gradually came to realize that the gospel his Christianity proclaimed was not good news for everybody. The same Christianity that sang, "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound" also perpetuated racial injustice and white supremacy in the name of Jesus. His Christianity, he discovered, was the religion of the slaveholder. Just as Reconstruction after the Civil War worked to repair a desperately broken society, compromised Christianity requires a spiritual reconstruction.

Is real friendship too risky? We live in a world where real friendship is hard to find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreat into the safety of our small, self-made digital worlds. Tragically, even the church can become a place that reinforces this isolation. Jesus models a much richer vision of friendship. Scott Sauls, pastor and teacher, invites you to see the breadth of Christ's love in this audiobook, Befriend.

Story
Many people today talk about justice, but are they living justly? They want to change the world, but are they being changed themselves? Eugene Cho has a confession: "I like to talk about changing the world but I don't really like to do what it takes." If this is true of the man who founded the One Day's Wages global antipoverty movement, then what must it take to act on one's ideals? Cho does not doubt the sincerity of those who want to change the world.

Does God speak to us about these daily tests? Is there hope in the struggle? The answer, of course, is yes - but where God speaks about them may surprise you.

John Perkins, founder of Voice of Calvary ministries, was born in New Hebron, Mississippi, in 1930. His family was made up of sharecroppers, and he grew up in grinding poverty, part of a system that preserved prejudice and racism. After his brother was killed, Perkins left Mississippi for California, where he found job opportunities, racism of another kind, and faith in Jesus Christ. He returned to Mississippi to share the gospel and help his own people find equality, justice, and economic independence.

John Perkins, as usual, sees clearly and inspires!
John Perkins tells his own story as a part of God's larger story. It's an inspiring review of a life committed to listening and following God, whether through tribulation, tragedy, or triumph. It's a prophetic call to Christians and churches to be the people of God that reflect His ways and glory. One people, under God!

Thoughts from a Christian elder
Summary: Thoughts from an elder as he reflects on his life, the church and the world.
I have read just about everything that John Perkins has written. So I pre-ordered Dream with Me months ago on kindle and picked up the audiobook as well. I have followed John Perkins’ work since I first became aware of the Christian Community Development Association in 1991 and attended their annual meeting in 1992.
Since then I have attended two or three additional annual meetings and read widely books that have been written by others associated with CCDA. I wrote my Masters thesis for my Masters in Social Service Administration on the different ways that Christian Churches and their church based non-profit arms related to one another using three Chicago based CCDA member organizations as examples.
If you do not know the name John Perkins or anything about CCDA, this probably isn’t the first book I would recommend. I would suggest starting with Perkins’ earlier memoir Let Justice Roll Down or Stephen Berk’s now out of print biography on Perkins, A Time to Heal, both give a much larger context to Perkins’ work and thoughts and would help you to understand why we should listen to Perkins in the first place.
Honestly, I thought Dream With Me would be more autobiography than it is. Once I altered my expectations to see it as an end of life reflection (similar to John Stott’s The Radical Disciple: Some Neglect Aspects of Our Calling or Jimmy Carters: Reflections at 90) it made more sense.
Many of the themes of Dream with Me are themes that have been a part of John Perkins life focus. He talks about his understanding of the importance of working with people in ministry, not for them. His Three R (Relocation, Reconciliation and Redistribution), which have been the cornerstone of his ministry philosophy are also here.
But the chapters of Dream with Me that struck me most were the chapters on the loss of his son Spencer and his concluding couple chapters, which were more about him dreaming of a future for the church and working through scripture around that. Nearly 20 years after Spencer’s death (he was in his mid 40s), the pain of that death is still evident. Watching elders in faith work through pain and loss visibly, without wrapping it up in some nice sweet bow, is helpful. Loss matters. Loss matters especially to a world where we think we might be rewarded in this world for effort.
Perkins was nearly killed for his civil rights work. He has had life long pain and health problems from one particular beating by the police. But the pain that still drags on him is the pain his children went through integrating schools and the pain of Spencer’s death. It is good to see real questioning about whether some of the things that he and his family went through were the right things to do. His goals were good. His God was good regardless of the result. But if we don’t question our methods after the fact, then we can’t learn.
Part of what I have enjoyed about CCDA conferences is that it is usually John Perkins that opens each morning with biblical teaching. He is just a good teacher. Theologically (and politically) he is more conservative than I am. And that challenge, when tied to a voice that I know has both struggled much and served well, for ideals that I believe in matters more than some of those same words being said by someone that has not done the work that puts life into the words.
If you are conservative politically, economically or socially, I would encourage you to engage with John Perkins’ work. He operates out of conservative principles, but also in a place that focusing on what can empower ‘the least of these.’ I think he pushes against both liberal and conservative positions in important ways.

Another wonderfully written book by Dr Perkins. In this material, Dr Perkins takes you on a journey of how God lead him into his purpose: ministry of biblical reconciliation. My hope is that the people of God would truly repent and seek God’s heart for people. Excellent read.

Chapters 9&10 are some of the most gracious words I have heard or read in my reading on racism. As I learn about racism and my participation in unjust systems, grace is much appreciated. Reconciliation cannot happen without it.

Must read for anyone concerned about Civil Rights
Dream with Me: Race, Love, and the Struggle We Must Win is a 'Must Read' for anyone concerned about Civil Rights in the present.
This John M. Perkins book reverberates with the echoes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a manner that is not often heard these days. As a contemporary of Dr. King, Perkins is a valid, credible source for direction toward many current social issues.
