A 2024 Foreword INDIES Award FinalistPunchy, provocative, and deeply affirming, Fire in the Whole is the conversation many avoid, some handle poorly, and others know is long overdue..Part personal story, part history, and part battle cry, Robert G. Callahan II delivers a sharp, witty exploration of what it means to be a Black evangelical Christian exhausted by the churchs refusal to confront its own racism. With humor, candor, and the precision of a lawyer and professor, he unpacks his disillusionment with white Christianity, offering both critique and clarity for those asking, Now what?Callahan lays bare the churchs long history of racial injusticenot as theory, but as lived reality. He names the hypocrisy of institutions that demand silence instead of justice and the exhaustion of Black Christians tired of fruitless conversations with white congregants who just dont get it.But this isnt just about whats broken. Fire in the Whole equips Black Christians to make empowered decisions about their faithwhether that means leaving toxic spaces, building new communities, or reclaiming a liberating faith. Discussion questions and a personal inventory help readers decide whats next.To assist with personal reflection and group discussion, a Spotify playlist curated by the author and downloadable versions of the guides at the end of the book are available at www.wjkbooks.com/FireintheWhole.
