“Gracism” by David Anderson is a good read on the importance of treating everyone with respect, regardless of your differences with them. Around 170 pages, some of the topics addressed include:

– 8 helpful saying that a “Gracist” can say to encourage others.

– Honor others from their perspective, not yours (in other words, walk in their shoes).

– Be careful of the way you talk about others from a difference ethnic group, class, or gender. You don’t have to agree with them, but treat them with respect.

– Seek commonality with those you differ with.

– The importance of using social privilege for God’s glory instead of elevating ourselves.

– Ways we can give honor to others.

– Suggested do’s and don’ts for online interaction.

– Praying for and with others.

A very readable title, relevant and timely, comes with good discussion questions, and smoothly transitions from chapter to chapter. Very good read and recommended.

I was given a review copy by IVP in exchange for a fair review and appreciate the opportunity.
