Book Overview

Everyone agrees that America is polarized, with ever-hardening positions held by people less and less willing to listen to one another. No one agrees on what to do about it. One solution that hasn't yet been tried, says Adam Hamilton, is for thinking persons of faith to model for the rest of the country a richer, more thoughtful conversation on the political, moral, and religious issues that divide us.

Seeing Gray book review

Excellent study on several of today's hot topics. Thought provoking and sound basis for its discussions. Best if used with the instructional video and study handouts.

Outstanding Documentary

Adam Hamilton's book, "Seeing Gray in a World of Black of White" is an outstanding documentary. After reading excerpts, I was so enthused about it, I bought two more as gifts and sent the name of the book and author to many friends. Thank you, Maggie

A must read for every generation

I am in the process of reading this book for small group at my church. I have to say it is one of the most insightful books I have seen regarding dealing with issues that confront us in today's world. Our society tends to see things as being black or white, one extreem or the other; you are liberal or conservative. Adam Hamilton suggests a different way of dealing with the issues. It is ok not to be one extreem or the other, but to be somewhere in the middle. As a matter of fact, that might be preferable to the extreems, and enable a ground on which to have productive conversations and perhaps even achieve resolutions to problems. In the book Adam addresses some very controversial issues including evolution, abortion, homosexuality, heaven and hell, and even whether non-Christians will be in heaven. He even addresses politics. This is probably not a book for those who are determined to be at the poles of an issue. It is not just a book for Christians, although I consider it a must read for those who wish to see an end to the senseless bickering between liberal and conservative Christians that leads non-Christians to avoid us and the faith. It is a book for any individual who wishes to promote productive discussion on issues that face our world today. I am buying several copies to give as gifts this Christmas.

Reasoned, rational review of hot button issues

Hamilton squarely faces the "noisy" issues of popular society to bring forth reasonable, moderate understanding to encourage thoughtful people to recognize the futility of polarities. His rationality of listening rather than shouting restores hope that overcomes fear, makes places for peace to "break out."
