Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian Jana Hall-Perkins M DIV

Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian is a rich devotional resource that lifts the spirit and informs the mind. This blend for head and heart is a resource not only for Black History month, but for times such as these where we need a word to get us through and a guide to help us live our faith. --Emilie M. Townes Dean and E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of Womanist Ethics and Society Vanderbilt University Divinity School This is spiritual food for justice loving folks. Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian connects the Gospel with the lived experiences of Black people, including those who have been marginalized by the Black Church. --Bishop Yvette Flunder Presiding Bishop, The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian is a masterful fusion of Black history, scripture, and critical reflection on Black life. --Dr. Forrest Harris President, American Baptist College Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian comes out of a young, bold, and imaginative embrace of the prophetic Black Church tradition. As with Baker and King, Nash and Lawson, Hamer and Proctor, this is not a "wait 'til I get old enough" voice. The Hall-Perkins declare that a Word must come forth for this generation and from this generation. All clerics and laity, scholars and pastors-any who claim Jesus in this day and time-do well to let this action provoking text speak to our spiritual lives." --Rev. Dr. Vance P. Ross Chairman, The Convocation for Pastors of Black Churches (United Methodist)
