O.org. O.R.G. Hello, this Russellborn, you're listening to sign-post.

Hello, this Russellborn.

You're listening to signposts. This is the place every time where I invite you to overhear some conversations that I have with thinkers and leaders about various topics and of course as you know here on

signposts we look for those pointers toward grace what Walker Percy used to

call signposts in a strange land and today I want to talk about a book called Mother to Son,

letters to a Black Boy on Identity and Hope by Jasmine Holmes that has just been published by InterVarsity Press.

I loved this book.

I thought that this book was not only substantive

in remarkable ways, but also beautifully written. substantive in this book

into only one category,

because it's hard to categorize this book into only one category,

because it's memoir, it's theology, it's psychology, it's sociology, it's political theory, it's parenting,

and a whole lot of other categories that are all put together in the format of a mom writing a

series of letters to her son, her right now a very very small son.

Jasmine Holmes, thanks so much for taking the time to be with us on signpost today.

Thank you so much for having me.
