January 2024 marks five years since my first book, The Color of Compromise, was published.

In January 2019 when the book came out, Dr Tisby could not have imaged the response it would garner.

Thanks to you, the readers, it became a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller. It has made its way into college and seminary courses, church small groups, and national news outlets.

Now it’s time to celebrate.
