“Letter Hello, our sister, The Sisters in Faith brand was created to encourage and empower you. As African American women we share a special bond. Our ancestors sacrificed so much for us. As a people we’ve come so far, yet we know we want to go farther. When we look toward the next generation, our hope in our youth is strong. We want the best for our children. We especially want our males to achieve greatness. We thought it fitting to have a title for mothers raising sons alone. Sister, if you’ve picked up this book, you’re probably in need of a helping hand to assist you in making sure your son soars. This book was mostly written by a godly, African American man, Derrick Moore. Derrick was raised by a single mother, yet she helped him achieve much with little. That passion with which she raised him is poured into the pages of this book. We pray this guide will inspire you to push your son even harder and strengthen you with biblical nuggets to get your job done. Above all, we want you to know we care for you, sister. We are thankful you are a mother on the move for God. We are proud you’re carrying on. We want this book to help you raise your son. May the Lord bless you.”
