"He's My Brother" is the story of a black activist (Dr. John Perkins) and a former Klansman (Thomas Tarrants, III). Their stories are told side by side, from the 1970s to the early 1990s, when they met in Washington, DC. Tarrants tells of his capture, imprisonment, and conversion from the dogmas of Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan. Perkins tells of his days living in the South under the shadow of the Klan, striving for equal rights for the people he led. Their tales are gritty but easy to follow and even identify with. The use of the word 'nigger' may offend some people, but I think this book is an excellent resource for any Sunday school study on real racial healing, intentional relationship, and commitment to change. Listen. Learn. Love. -- Linda Leigh Hargrove is the author of two works of fiction: The Making of Isaac Hunt (2007) and Loving Cee Cee Johnson (2008). Her writings blend suspense, humor, and faith into compelling stories about race and class in America.
