Trouble I've Seen: Changing the Way the Church Views Racism is a book by theologian and blogger Drew G. I. Hart, with a foreword by Christena Cleveland. The book challenges white Christians to reexamine their assumptions and attitudes about race and justice in the light of the gospel and the experiences of people of color. Hart analyzes the historical and contemporary manifestations of white supremacy in the U.S., such as police brutality, mass incarceration, anti-black stereotypes, poverty, and everyday acts of racism. He also offers concrete practices for churches that seek solidarity with the oppressed and are committed to racial justice. The book is based on Hart's personal journey of faith and activism, as well as his scholarly research and pastoral experience. Hart invites readers to listen to the stories of those on the racialized margins and to be transformed by the trouble they've seen.
