Unified by Tim Scott & Trey Gowdey

"Unified" by Senators Tim Scott & Trey Gowdy is about how two senators from different backgrounds and races have come together to not create division but to friends in diversity.  This was such a powerful book on their friendship also on how yes we may not experience the things the same way as others but we can still be friends.  My favorite quote from the book really points that out which "No matter what differences we may have with another person - social, racial, political, spiritual, ideological - if we will look for something we have in common, or something we can admire or emulate in the other person, we can always build on that."  These two senators attitudes and love of the lord Jesus is just so powerful on how they show Christian love no matter what has or is happening to them.   They don't dismiss the racism that still happens to African-American's today but the don't focus on it and try to show love to others.  They also talk about how people are still treated differently due to skin.  One area that can be considered controversial that they talk about is how people selling small amounts of cocaine are usually slapped on the wrist while someone selling small amount of crack the book is thrown at them.  This is just a very good book on race and working together as Christians, I highly recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tyndale Publishers.  Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
