Review Quotes:
"Since his days on the frontlines of ministry as an evangelist until now, Dr. Bill Pannell has been a prophetic voice calling the church to reflect the radical heart of Jesus for racial justice. He foresaw the hostility, divisiveness, and injustice that would result if Christians failed to heed his warning. Now in this new edition of The Coming Race Wars: A Cry for Justice, from Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter, Dr. Pannell once again challenges Christians to look back on their lack of activism and calls for a new way forward that leads to transformation, social reform, justice, and racial healing. I highly recommend this important book for such a time as this!"
