Dear Friend,

Now you can order a subscription to Sojourners and receive a FREE copy of Jim Wallis’ book America’s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America, about which Just Mercy author Bryan Stevenson says, “Jim Wallis has been speaking truth to power for decades. This new work is timely, urgent, and necessary.”

Every month Sojourners offers in-depth commentary on our call to live out Jesus’ mandate to stand in solidarity with all who are oppressed. That includes those suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, those abused at the hands of people sworn to serve and protect, and all other souls at the heart of important justice issues.

“Yearning to Breathe Free,” featured in the current issue of Sojourners, exposes the fear behind people saying they can’t breathe — whether because of weakened lungs, air pollution, or an illegal chokehold. When the dangerously overworked experience a “shortness of breath,” it’s a societal alarm, not just an individual condition. Subscribe now to read this article on how we rebuke death and love our neighbors.

Reading Sojourners lets you know you are not alone, that there are many of us struggling with the same questions and concerns facing our world. Be part of a community that shines a light in the darkness and knows our purpose is to make our planet a better and safer place for everyone.

Also in the August issue:

• Harboring a Culture of Hate – The U.S. Catholic Church, once persecuted by the Ku Klux Klan, today has a visible white-power faction.
• The Virus of White Supremacy – The white knee on a Black neck is a system, a culture, a false idol, and a brutal violence that permeates every aspect of American life.
• Why People Are Dying to Go to Church – Most Americans oppose opening churches too soon, but some believe God offers them special protection.
• Survival Is a Global Project – The starting place is to surrender our hope that we will simply return to some old normal.
• Living the Word – Recounting the stories that shape our religious longings happens in the shade of uncertainty and fear.
• Plus, film and book reviews, poetry, humor, and more!

Sojourners goes back to the gospel—where Jesus said he came to this world to “bring good news to the poor”—and we always will. Subscribe to Sojourners magazine now and be part of a community that puts faith into action, and get your FREE copy of America’s Original Sin, about which Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale says, “I have been waiting a long time for this book. I have been waiting for a white, male, evangelical Christian to say what Jim Wallis has the courage to say. Jim, in his own inimitable way, invites us into a conversation ... that is long overdue.”

In solidarity,

Cynthia Martens,
Senior Director of Circulation, Sojourners
