As we all work together toward truth and reconciliation, consider Carmen Lansdowne, PhD lansdowne's new book, WEARING A BROKEN INDIGENE HEART ON THE SLEEVE OF CHRISTIAN MISSION.

As the Christian Century books editor Elizabeth Palmer says this week in her newsletter: "Sometimes a book that comes across my desk has such an intriguing title that I immediately open it up to see what’s inside. That was the case with Carmen Lansdowne’s Wearing a Broken Indigene Heart on the Sleeve of Christian Mission, which was released last month by Canadian Mennonite University Press. I started looking through this book, and I was instantly hooked."
