All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The letter is plain speech about being committed to reconciliation with one another.

In fact, really, the Gospel itself is a story of reconciliation. More than that, we tend to live our lives today in echo chambers of self-affirmation. Reconciliation means bringing people together who were otherwise previously far off from each other, just like God reconciling the world to himself through Christ. It involves looking beyond both our own screens and our own belly buttons.
And it involves looking beyond our personal circles of self-affirmation, whatever those circles may be. Paul calls the Corinithians to engage this world with the same open-heartedness and love. Wonderful thing Daryl did, and his Christian self-emptying is greatly to be commended and emulated wherever possible. No doubt God was involved in it, and you can see the movement of grace in a miraculous way.
But God was also involved in making Daryl a big man, obviously strong and not to be trifled with. We have more […].

Due to certain happenings in the author s life, this book was written under the confines of a mental hospital.
And, like the Apostle John, the author has come to regard the mental hospital as his Isle of Patmos. Also, the author has already done extensive work on a second book on religion, which he hopes to complete in the near future. Although some of the ideas in this current book may be different and somewhat new, it is hoped that readers would read the book in its entirety, before arriving at any decisions on its worth or merit.

Opening Our Hearts: Daryl Davis and Reconciliation
Easy to read, based on Bible scripture, and eye opening. I would truly highly recommend this book to everyone who is wanting to know more about the end-times. January 8, Simple wisdom can help one go so very far in their life. The readers of this book might do well to find out the "crime" the author glosses over in his review of his book. I found this be to be very well written and thought provoking.
This book will lead you into extensive bible study as you compare your beliefs and opinions with those expressed by the author. While Theological views may differ, it is evident that the author spent considerable time in the research of these Bible principles. He expresses his views and the reasons behind those views very articulately.
