Atlanta, 22, July – Dr. Gary Mason, II, U.S. Army veteran and ordained minister, unveils a powerful two-part literary work confronting the United States Army's systemic racial discrimination and offering a bold, faith-based solution rooted in love, justice, and reconciliation.
His first book, Persecuted to Love: A Soldier's Story, released in 2022, shares Dr. Mason's personal account of being attacked and betrayed by members of his unit. What began as a shocking individual ordeal unfolded into a deeper realization: that racism and discrimination are persistent, often hidden forces within the military ranks. Dr. Mason writes with raw honesty about his journey through trauma, anger, and, ultimately, the healing power of forgiveness.
Now, in his newly released companion book, A Divine Solution: Unconditional Love as an Antidote to Racial Discrimination in the U.S. Army, Dr. Mason presents a transformative path forward. Grounded in his doctoral research, the book lays out a practical and spiritual framework to eliminate racial discrimination within military institutions. This blueprint calls on military Chaplains to lead the charge, guided by the pillars of Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation.
"Unconditional love is not weakness," says Dr. Mason. "It's the most courageous and enduring force we have. It was only by relying on the love of Jesus Christ that I was able to survive threats, abuse, and career sabotage for speaking out. Now, I feel called to offer that same love as a way forward for our entire military community."
A Divine Solution challenges the status quo and demands institutional accountability, transparency, and moral leadership. Dr. Mason's recommendations are not theoretical—they are designed for immediate implementation. His message is urgent: the survival of our military's integrity and unity depends on rejecting both overt and covert discrimination. The book is a warning and a call to action.
"These books are not just about my story," Dr. Mason adds. "They're about a much bigger truth. If we are to live up to our national ideals, 'to form a more perfect union,' then we must build a culture in our military that refuses to tolerate discrimination in any form. Love, humility, and courage must be our guiding values."
