"DeYoung cuts no corners when it comes to stating the staggering
cost of quality relationships, yet he makes the beauty of biblical
reconciliation so appealing that the sacrifice will seem a small
price to be paid for the enriching arrangement to which the gospel
calls us."
--James A. Forbes Jr., Senior Minister Emeritus, The Riverside
Church
"In Reconciliation, Curtiss DeYoung offers us a moral guide and
practical road map through this difficult, painful, and ultimately
liberating process called reconciliation. This is a book that
should be read by everyone who wants to build bridges across our
great divides--which should be all of us."
--Jim Wallis, President, Sojourners
"For insights on the social outworking of the reconciliation
concern, note especially Howard Thurman's Disciplines of the Spirit
and Curtiss Paul DeYoung's Reconciliation. Thurman offers his wise
counsel about how to develop as a reconciling person. DeYoung
offers counsel on taking responsibility for the polarization that
exists in order to take action to shape the necessary and
God-willed harmony."
--James Earl Massey, Dean Emeritus, Anderson University School of
Theology and Tuskegee University Chapel
