Founder of Civil Righteousness Jonathan Tremaine Thomas equips Christians with a Spirit-led roadmap to navigate division with Christlike engagement and reconciling action.
Many Christians feel both heartbreak and anger over what is happening in America today, and the church often feels the most divided of all. How do we move from lament and overwhelm to Spirit-empowered impact?
In this compelling call to act as intercessors in the "radical middle," pastor and activist Jonathan Tremaine Thomas shows us how to resist both apathy and rage as we respond to the injustices and brokenness around us. Make Straight the Path reorients our call to renewal and offers practical tools:
- Integrate spiritual practices like prayer and fasting with public peacemaking.
- Receive fresh vision and language for social righteousness.
- Process our times and our own identity through the eyes and example of Jesus.
- Be empowered to co-labor with Christ in the "reconciliation of all things."
- Move beyond polarized extremes to embody the way of the Kingdom.
It is possible to turn places of pain into places of God's presence. Rich in historical context and grounded in biblical truth, Make Straight the Path is a personal, cultural, and spiritual formation guide that invites us off the sidelines and into the sacred work of reconciliation, bringing Jesus-shaped transformation to a deeply divided culture.
