The roles of education and public participation are inextricably linked to the development and expression of character and virtue. With Uncommon Courage, Keisha Toni Russell taps into her experiences as an educator and a reformer to bring forth a sustaining vision for moral engagement. If she can remedy the deficits of children struggling to learn, then she can certainly teach the rest of us how to think constructively about our ideological commitments and perhaps even about how to get along." Anton Sorkin, director, Law Student Ministries (Christian Legal Society); affiliate professor, Trinity Law School Uncommon Courage is the locker-room pep talk I want to give to Christians all over this country. Keisha Toni Russell has given the church an invaluable resource for understanding the past, discerning the present, and recognizing our place in the race for truth. Her case is undeniably motivated by a deep desire to see the gospel advanced and Gods grace poured out on this world. This is an important book for our generation; one that we will likely need to revisit often to grant us a sobering lay of the land and remind us of our purpose. People in our day are obsessed with being found on the right side of history. Uncommon Courage is a book that will embolden us Christians to be found standing for HIS-story. Righting the ship is going to require that bold Christ-followers come forward and fight the good fight, and Uncommon Courage needs to be their playbook. Gale Carter, founder and CEO of Daughters of Our Living Lord & Savior (D.O.L.L.S.) Uncommon Courage is a riveting and compelling literary masterpiece. Keisha invites her audience to view our nation and all her complexities and conundrums through a biblical worldview while invoking us into the great commission with courage and conviction for the change that our world needs. This book is uniquely designed to give its readers a detailed blueprint for navigating the political, cultural, and racial pitfalls that plague society today. Get ready to be challenged in your thinking on every level. You will not want to put this book down once you begin reading. Christopher McRae, author; senior pastor, Sojourn Church, Carrollton, TX
