“Making space to hear, to know, and to care for people ‘not in our tribe’ may be one
of the most urgent and transformative things we could be doing. In this bitterly
divided era in American society and politics, may we who seek to be
Jesus-followers live out our vocation as reconcilers and
peacemakers with love and justice. A Language of
Healing could be just the right practical help for
our next steps at this important time.”
MARK LABBERTON, President,
Fuller Theological Seminary

“The idea for this book began with Bob Prater, a former pastor, lumber company manager,
entertainment developer, and father of three daughters. He spends a lot of his time with
people who have been marginalized — the poor, the LGBTQ community, and others
who’ve been abused or fallen through the cracks of our society. He’s also been a
bridge to the Muslim community in his own city of Bakersfield, California. . .
Polarity damages people. The current atmosphere is saturated with
disdain for one another. It’s time for a new approach that
celebrates our common humanity”. Introduction - Click:

Speaking a Language of Healing
Erring On the Side of Love
“What if a few, determined people could transform the climate of a culture by salting
their conversations with a language of mutual respect and compassion instead
of adding to the anger and vitriol that is sweeping our country? Along with
co-authors Bob Prater of Bakersfield, CA and Arnita Taylor of Dallas,
TX, Wayne has just completed a new book titled A Language of
Healing for a Polarized Nation.” The God Journey Podcast

"We have to question the intentions of any group that insists on disdain toward
other people as a membership requirement," Brené Brown, in Daring Greatly.
