We need as many astute and winsome voices as we can get to address the ongoing reality of racial fragmentation. Albert writes and preaches from a depth of personal and pastoral experience that can only enrich our lives. With wonderful storytelling and prophetic urgency, we are once again given an opportunity to love better and deeper. This book is a gift.

How We Love Matters is the book we need for the soul of the Church. Albert reveals how racism continues to exist in the Church today, but also provides tangible steps to reconciliation. As a father and pastor, my goal is to provide a life and a church for my children that they can grow in their love for Jesus and live a godly life. My prayer is that this book would inspire the necessary change in us.

Rooted in biblical truth, combining searing memoir and incisive cultural commentary, How we Love Matters is a powerful book for today. Albert Tate writes with prophetic urgency . He does not flinch from addressing the church’s sin and complicity in the area of racism and systemic injustice. But he doesn’t end there; Albert calls us away from a shallow response, reminding us of the power of the gospel to bring true redemption, and reconciliation.

When I’ve talked to white pastors who were in ministry in the 1960s during the Civil Rights era, they’ve told me looking back, they wish they’d done more. It was too frightening at the time. We’re in such a moment right now. And the reason you’re scared to pick up a provocative, compelling, and demanding book on racism and justice by one of today’s leading voices, is exactly the reason, you, like me, need to do it. Read this book.

Love isn't a word we hear much in the midst of the current milieu we are in today. We see bickering and challenge, but rarely is the word love bright us as an apologetic and even foundation for out interaction. Albert Tate is the perfect one to talk about this, because his ministry has been a model of what it looks like to fight for love. I'm hoping that this work will be yet another tool that leads to us fighting from the unity we have in Jesus vs trying to create unity by our own means.

How We Love matters is a gift from a friend— the kind of friend who will sit down with you, answer hard questions, and press you on important topics. Albert Tate is the kind of trusted friend who loves Jesus, and also loves Jesus’ people enough to talk about hard things. I’m thankful for him and his friendship, and—as you read this book—you will be too.
