"Wait... We're talking about what? I'm not so sure I want to do that." When it comes to discussing racism, many white people are overwhelmed with anxiety, leading to a fight-or-flight response. In Anxious to Talk About It, pastor and professor Carolyn B. Helsel draws on her successful experiences with white congregations to offer us tools to embrace and explore these anxious feelings. Through the sharing of our stories, new insights on racial identity, and spiritual practices to help you engage racial justice concerns prayerfully, you'll begin to overcome your anxiety and learn to join conversations with less fear, more compassion, and more knowledge of self, others, and the important issues at stake. Helsel's words and guidance will inspire you to receive the gifts that come through these difficult conversations and point to how you can get further involved in the important work around race relations. While Anxious to Talk About It can be read alone, reading it with a group is strongly recommended to help deepen and broaden the discussion, integrate the material and practice with others.

While we know the time to talk about racism is long overdue, many white people are still anxious to talk about it. Guilt, shame, discomfort, and the fear of saying the wrong thing are just some of the feelings white people perceive as holding them back from the critical conversations around dismantling racism. In this updated and expanded second edition of Anxious to Talk About It, professor and ant-racism teacher Carolyn Helsel offers new ideas and tools for moving beyond the anxiety, engaging the hard conversations, and joining the work for a more equitable world with courage, grace, and conviction.
