"As a young boy, Peter Slade and his brothers' prospects look none too bright. The boys learn to be successful farmers and cattlemen on their grandfather's farm. A novel of the rural South, Peter Slade is a story of what one can accomplish if one sets one's mind to it."--Description from cover.
Peter Slade examines Mission Mississippi's model of racial reconciliation (which stresses one-on-one, individual friendships among religious people of different races) and considers whether it can effectively address the issue of social justice. Slade argues that Mission Mississippi's goal of "changing Mississippi one relationship at a time" is both a pragmatic strategy and a theological statement of hope for social and economic change in Mississippi.
