In this review of Jemar Tisby’s book, The Color of Compromise, I give a rundown of each chapter and the main thrust of the book, then respond to (1) why I think everyone should read the book, and (2) where I differ (slightly) from Tisby in a way forward.
If you’ve read the book yourself, I’d love to hear your feedback. And if you haven’t read it, you can check it out on Amazon, here.
Also, check out Jemar Tisby’s website, as well as the Witness. Jemar has a podcast called Footnotes and the Witness has a podcast called Pass the Mic. You can find both of them on any major podcasting platform.

Hey, thanks for reading!
We believe the message of Jesus helps us make the most sense of this life. Our goal is to provide free articles and resources for churches and young adults who desire to live with greater clarity.
On this blog, we tackle human experiences we all face and seek to reconcile them with God and His Word. But this blog is really just the surface level of everything we have to offer.
With our Patreon membership program, you gain access to personalized content designed to help you sort through things you’re struggling to understand. For instance, you can ask any question you are specifically facing right now, such as “What is racism?” or “Is it wrong for a Christian to masturbate?” We do our best to provide a thoughtful, Scripturally-sound response to help you process in your journey.
We also have a monthly “Cultural Analysis” where we take a deep dive into a cultural phenomenon of our day and help us think Christianly about it. An example of this is “Thinking Through the Black Lives Matter Movement.”
Last, but not least, we provide a review of a resource we find profoundly helpful concerning the topic of the “Cultural Analysis.” The goal is to think practically about current issues of our day and discover how God would have us respond in light of His Word.
Not only is this membership program designed to help bring you clarity in your chaos, but it’s also designed to equip you to then help others find clarity in their chaos. Inside, you will find stories and lessons of those who have come before you. I hope that through them you’ll be challenged to follow in their footsteps.
I also hope you will be emboldened to enter risky conversations, putting in the work of thinking Christianly about real, everyday issues in order to better understand God’s work of redemption and how exactly you fit into it all.
To get you started, I’ve provided a free guide for navigating through the crazy events of this life.
