Black Man's Religion

Christian Living

“Black Man's Religion is a much-needed and long-awaited work! It combines the brilliance of one of the country's leading biblical scholars and the passion of a pastor who is trying to reach a generation being lured away from the 'God of our weary years' by others who teach half truths. The sensitive, balanced, thorough and exhaustive work (written so that lay people can understand it) is 'just what the doctor ordered' in terms of our African American youths who are wrestling with their Afrocentricity and the claims of the Nation of Islam versus the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ! I recommend this book highly to all high school students, college students, parents, pastors and young persons who are trying to find out the 'truth' about the African origins of our faith.”

Hear the Spirit

Arts & Literature

“Dr. Stewart has created liturgies worthy of the Black church’s prophetic tradition. These poems, prayers, and litanies refuse to separate Sunday morning worship from Monday morning justice-making, offering worship resources that honor our ancestors, celebrate our culture, and speak truth to power. This is the kind of Afrocentric Christianity the Black church needs—liturgies that comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

Spiritual Care in an Age of #BlackLivesMatter

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Rev. Danielle Buhuro has assembled a select and excellent group of phenomenal caregivers, clinical therapists, psychologists, pastors, seminary professors, and CPE Supervisors to produce one of the most important resources for spiritual care and pastoral counseling in the twenty-first century.”

The Trauma of Sexual and Domestic Violence

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“A usable masterpiece. Many times, scholars from the academy write books that are helpful only for those who work in the academy. . . . Not so with Ellis Davis. She knows both sides of the street and writes in a way that those in the academy, those in the church, those in the counseling suites, and those who are trying to find a way out of the morass created by this trauma can be reached. I recommend her book highly.”

The Trauma Zone

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Dr. Collins has produced a work that will bless the lives of believers for years to come. Many Christians walk around trapped in The Trauma Zone not knowing that there are exits signs in that "zone" to point the believer to the doors through which a follower of Christ may walk with confidence and with a cure for the disease with which they have been living for so long! Dr. Collins' Trauma D.J. keeps many persons of faith listening to a constant negative "rap" and also keeps them living beneath their dignity. They live with brokenness and unhealed wounds. Dr. Collins shows in the pages of this work how Christ will heal those wounds and how, when we walk along with Christ, we can become whole again. I recommend his book to all who are in the helping professions. I recommend his book to all who wrestle with depression and negative attitudes. I recommend his book to all who would embrace what it is that Jesus had in His mind when He said, "I have come that you might have life more abundantly!"”

Witness

“This much-needed history of the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlem is a 'must-read' for generations of Americans who want to know the complex and complicated story of the black religious tradition, the black church tradition, and the intersectionality of race, religion, and politics amidst the ever-changing and evolving landscape of life for Africans in New York City -- from the days following the Civil War up through the Great Migration and on into the twenty-first century. . . . A debt of gratitude is owed to Genna Rae McNeil, Houston Bryan Roberson, Quinton Hosford Dixie, and Kevin McGruder! These dedicated historians have captured an important segment of black church history and written about it with passion and with care.”
