If she doesn't figure out some way to get back to the world she knows before the end of the term, she might never have another chance. Her teachers think she's slow, the other girls find her odd, and, as she spends more and more time in 1918, Charlotte starts to wonder if she remembers how to be Charlotte at all. And instead of having only one new set of rules to learn, she also has to contend with the unprecedented strangeness of being an entirely new person in an era she knows nothing about. In the months that follow, Charlotte wakes alternately in her own time and in Clare's. It's natural to feel a little out of place when you're the new kid, but when Charlotte Makepeace wakes up after her first night at boarding school, she's baffled: everyone thinks she's a girl called Clare Mobley, and even more shockingly, it seems she has traveled forty years back in time to 1918.

Second, I firmly believe that academic dishonesty through the distortion of history, quotes, and arguments produces illegitimate contentions. Thus, I affirm that it is the only way for us to know the radical freedom found in the saving work of Christ, and in all things pertaining to living earthly lives to His glory. Given the vehement discourse surrounding the topics in The Color of Compromise, it is appropriate to lay out my presuppositions before I begin this review.įirst, I am approaching the book with the belief that the canon of Scripture is the authoritative, inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. However, while the book offers a painfully deep discussion of how the historical American church has operated on race, many of the conclusions and inferences in The Color of Compromise warrant critique, especially on its understanding of the Gospel and current-day Christianity. The Color of Compromise by Jemar Tisby is an appeal to the American church to not only realize the appalling history of slavery, racial segregation, and events leading up to the Civil Rights Movement but to actively change its attitude regarding current racial issues. 2019 – December, November, October, September, May, April, March, February, January.
