"The world's most authentic and inspiring reconciler shows believers how to stop talking about reconciliation—and start being it together.

"Deep wrongs need to be made right. All the more, the wrongs we've committed against others need to be healed to the degree that we not only respect one another but earnestly desire and labor for one another to flourish to the fullest of all God intends for his creation. That is what Dr. Brenda is teaching me, and that is what she teaches in Roadmap to Reconciliation. Dr. Brenda gives us her life's work in these pages, and it will be my mission to ensure that her instruction is spread far and wide, even to the most hardhearted and privileged among us. Reconciliation is love as Jesus loves. It's a foretaste of the kingdom, now and to come."Bethany H. Hoang, adviser, IJM and Q Ideas, author of Deepening the Soul for Justice

I highly recommend it!"Won Kim, director of discipleship, New Community Church, Chicago
