Summary
Part memoir, part social and theological commentary on what it means to be a Black Christian woman in the UK.
What does it mean when God is presented as male?
What does it mean when - from our internal assumptions to our shared cultural imaginings - God is presented as white?
These are the urgent questions Chine McDonald asks in a searing look at her experience of being a Black woman in the white-majority space that is the UK church - a church that is being abandoned by Black women no longer able to grin and bear its casual racism, colonialist narratives and lack of urgency on issues of racial justice.
A must-listen for anyone troubled by a culture that insists everyone is equal in God's sight, yet fails to confront white supremacy; a lament about the state of race and faith and a clarion call for us all to do better.

A critical contribution to Christians in the UK
A fantastic and much needed book to help us continue our conversations and enable us to examine our white histories more intentionally. we dream of a brighter future for all our children. Listened at 1.2 speed and it felt about right to me.

Uncomfortable but Challenging
Excellently educational to challenge all minds and hearts to journey together towards the eradication of racism, racial biases and racial injustice. This book will cause the white person to feel uncomfortable as the writer vulnerably shares her experience of being black amongst whites. This book will equip whites to make necessary changes to embrace the unity amongst nations and to journey towards building communities authentically representing a mosaic of colours.

Enlightening,accessible and personal
As a White female Christian this book taught me much about my faith,it’s limitations and flaws but also the opportunities to be anti-racist and an ally to non-white brothers and sisters. Chine writes beautifully and her willingness to share her personal experiences allows the listener/reader to explore and challenge Christianity and it’s whiteness. I will be thinking about this and (hopefully) changing my actions for a long time,thank you Chine.

Thought provoking
A thoughtful and thought provoking analysis of Christian theology/ideology about the image of God and the effects of this theology on church and society.

God is not a white man.
I loved the honesty with which McDonald tells her/our story. She challenges conventional views and gets us to rethink our assumptions.
