Seeking a Book Launch Team…
I wrote a book and could use your help
I’m excited to announce I wrote a book that will be released on January 14th. The title of the book is Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground: Welcoming the Death of the Whiteness Gospel. It is a kind of historical and theological memoir one friend told me feels like a love letter to the church, the United States, and to the human family.
I am currently putting together a launch team that is made up of people who commit to do four things:
Read an advance copy PDF version of the book which I can send as soon as someone agrees to be part of the team.
Buy the book when it comes out on January 14th.
Review the book on Amazon THE DAY it is released (January 14th).
Share some news of the book on one of your social media accounts.
If you’re interested in being part of the launch team, please send me an email (danny@stmarysnashville.com) and I’ll send you the PDF. If you’ve got any questions, please feel free to ask them. There will be a party early next year for everyone who is part of launching the book.
There is ZERO obligation to be part of this, but I wanted to make sure everyone who might want to be was invited. If you know someone you think would want to be part of the launch team, please pass along this post.
The book’s synopsis is:
Whiteness is a way of being in the world characterized by ownership intent on being separated from others. The “whiteness gospel” divides humanity and metastasizes itself into self-sustaining groups whose most basic claim is some characteristic that values superiority over belonging. It is one reason James Baldwin can assess, “…there is no such thing as white community.” In Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground, D.T. Bryant shares the wounds and rewards of being a native son of this puritanical way of life with the hope of inviting others into a season of hospice spirituality that allows it to die with dignity. It is a plea toward a non-violent end with hope for a new beginning springing from a belonging detached from ownership and superiority.
Gratefully,
Danny
