As an American of pan-Pacific Island descent, I recommend this book!"--Michael Taesali, contributing author of The Commission"In a world of racism and injustice, there are some who will speak up to defend, enlighten, and encourage others. In the case of Finding a Better Way, Jeanne DeFazio takes on a challenge. One that can bring criticism and opposition to her life. Some women stand up for what is right without concern of any backlash. Ms. DeFazio is one of these women. She shares her personal stories along with others' stories to bring these concerns to light and expose them for the betterment of humankind."--Connie Engel, author of The Progressive Church: A dangerous Movement Has Begun"Finding A Better Way shines the light of Jesus on the darkness of racial injustice. As an African American Christian leader, I endorse this book!"--Yvonnette O'Neal, founder of Ambassadors Network MinistriesAbout the AuthorJeanne DeFazio is the coeditor of Creative Ways to Build Christian Community, Redeeming the Screens, An Artistic Tribute To Harriet Tubman, and Empowering English Language Learners.
