Review Quotes
"Adrian Pei wonderfully exposits, via stories and quantitative data, a missing piece of the conversation in today's tense national racial divide. This is absolutely necessary reading for those in the majority who may not understand what it's like to be a minority as well as for minorities who have struggled to put into words what they've been feeling. It is for leaders of organizations and for anyone who calls themself a Christian. This is a book I wish I had written! Not only do we share the Asian American experience, but I am a Cru alum as well. Pei blends faith, practice, and theory together into a beautiful, eye-opening tapestry."
