Preordered thru Bookshop so my local independent bookstore (Goldberry Books, Concord, NC) gets the money. I’d love for you to come here on your book tour! David Kern is the owner of Goldberry Books. Happy Birthday! šŸŽ‚šŸŽ‰šŸŽˆā¤ļø

Not far! 30 min. I heard you speak and you signed my book when you were at Covenant Presbyterian Feb. 10!

Very kind words, Wayne! And yes, 30th birthday (somewhere in the multiverse, probably). Ha!

I just started the Color of Comprimise, so I am not preordering your new book right now. For me it gets overwhelming to have too high a stack of books to read. Hoping, however, others will order.

Such a fantastic read. That one will require a lot of pausing and praying on your part! Wishing you well.

Thanks for reading "The Color of Compromise" Jonathan! I good next book would be "How to Fight Racism" and then you'll be done just in time for "The Spirit of Justice" :-)

Done. Estileta’s Library, Seattle, Black owned…

I/we need inspiration. It’s so hard out here. Black leaders and stories carry us when we cannot take another step.

Happy Birthday 🦾

Roanoke, Virginia, would love to host you for a book tour and a speaking engagement on race and reparations. Please send an estimate of your fees to Jennie Waering at JWaering1102@gmail.com. BTW, I am a subscriber and I have lead 4 book studies of Color of Compromise and have read How to Fight Racism.

Pre-ordered through Bookshop. We have a good local independent bookstore (Boulder Bookstore) here in Boulder, Colorado, and they host book tour events regularly. I have no idea how those events get set up, though. Let me know if I can help in any way. Thanks. Jim Carpenter

Such good ideas, Hope! I believe we can make the book marks happen. Thanks for looping in the library. One of my goals is to write a graphic novel, but it probably won't be this particular book, at least not yet. Yes, all three books really fit together well.
