In Your Face is an online dialogue between all kinds of people discussing hot button, almost taboo, issues that we would normally not bring up at a cocktail party – sex, race, politics, religion, and just plain life.
Joel John Roberts writes on everyday, but sometimes hidden, life topics like divorce, racism, parenting, hypocrisy, polygamy, adoption, love, the church, public education, death, homelessness, and politics.
After blogging for nearly six years on Huffington Post, his own blog, Xanga, and Facebook, Joel discovered that online comments, secret email responses, and tweets became a thought provoking electronic discussion on life.
Personal buttons were pushed. Prejudice revealed. Anger simmered. Similar experiences, feeling, and hurts unveiled. So also, perspectives were refined, positions softened, and the borders of colliding communities were adjusted.
In Your Face is the story of how Roberts’ electronic community became a microcosm of real communities around the country struggling to cross racial, social, and political boundaries in order to create environments that embrace hope, tolerance, and justice.
Joel John Roberts is the CEO of PATH (People Assisting The Homeless), the publisher of the national blog PovertyInsights.org, a blogger for Huffington Post, and has been highlighted on CNN, ABC World News Tonight, BBC, and numerous national media outlets.
