God's Wisdom from Biblical Women to African-American Women by REV Elizabeth Pettiford McCoy M DIV Pdf
GOD'S WISDOM from BIBICAL WOMEN to AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN is a religious book discussing women of all ages, cultures, nationalities, and generations who sought God's revelation through His Word, the Holy Bible. These women believed, trusted, and had continuous "faith" that the Lord will see them though any incurred diversity of life. This empowered faith offered words of wisdom and assistance for these women to trust and have confidence in God. It talks of "giants" these women faced daily and how to defeat them. These women include: Women of the Old Testament, the New Testament, African-American "Firsts," the "Yes, We Still Can" Women movement of the Obama Era, and more "Distinguished Women" of today who have made a difference in today's society. Reverend Elizabeth Pettiford McCoy is an associate pastor of Lawson Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, Roxboro, North Carolina, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a retired school counselor and Bible School teacher, but most of all she is a "Child of God." She is also a community leader with a "Masters in Divinity." She believes in education and assisting others to learn of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This book is her debut in publishing God's Word. It shows a powerful comparison in "Women of the Bible" and "Hard Working African-American Women" of the past and today. I thank God for given her the courage, vision and agility to write this book.
She Speaks helps African-American women find relevance, purpose, and identity in the Word of God. Each chapter offers a complete list of references to help the reader locate the stories of these inspirational women in the Bible with ease.
This eightweek Bible study for African American women takes a closer look at the Book of Nehemiah to reveal parallels between the lives of Gods people rebuilding Jerusalem and the lives of presentday African Americans. Speaking directly to the presentday concerns of African American women, Berrys message is one of power and hope. This is a book, she says, to assist African American Christian women in uncovering the spiritual might to experience restoration and change their world for Christ.
In Search of Wisdom by Prof. Anne E. Streaty Wimberly,Evelyn L. Parker Pdf
edited by Anne E. Streaty Wimberly A guide for pastors, church leaders, and all who help African Americans in their search for a meaningful Christian lifestyle. Forming Christians--leading fallen and flawed human beings into the path of discipleship to a crucified and risen Lord--is one of the central, if not the central, tasks of all Christian churches. It is a difficult enough task anywhere, but for African Americans, beset by racial conflict, personal crises, generational separation, and other concerns, it is especially so. African American churches must work particularly hard to counter the messages their members receive from the dominant and often unfriendly culture. This book employs the biblical text and African tradition to draw on the idea of the search for wisdom as a potent way to help African Americans in their pursuit of genuine Christian discipleship. Wisdom in African American tradition is not simply knowledge; rather, it is those insights, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors,and practices that create and sustain a life of hope and that produce an inherent sense of the worth of one's self. If their members are to engage in the search for wisdom, African American churches must build an intentional ministry of faith formation. Wisdom can be gained, the authors argue, when African Americans listen to the black oral tradition with its proverbial sayings, revered Bible stories, songs, and narratives from the lives of exemplary individuals. The book offers several similar avenues for the search for wisdom, including helpful models of black males mentoring younger black males, as a remedy to the destructive effects that contemporary culture has on this segment of the African American community.

Oneness is hard to achieve. Let the kingdom unity of Scripture point the way. Today’s world is torn apart. Tension is everywhere. Brother is pitted against brother, sister against sister, citizen against citizen, even Christian against Christian. It’s so hard to find agreement—much less real harmony—in our polarized society. Can there be a way forward? Tony Evans knows how elusive unity can be. As a black man who’s also a leader in white evangelicalism, he understands how hard it can be to bring these worlds together. Yet he’s convinced that the gospel provides a way for Christians to find oneness despite the things that divide us. In the Word of God, we find a kingdom-based approach to matters of history, culture, the church, and social justice. In this book, you’ll get: A Biblical Look at Oneness A Historical View of the Black Church A Kingdom Vision for Societal Impact Although oneness is hard to achieve, the Christian must never stop striving. It’s a kingdom imperative. As Tony reminds us, “Glorifying God is our ultimate goal. Oneness exists to enable us to reach our goal.”

Revealing (Black Women) in the Bible by Lessie Myles Pdf
"REVEALING" (BLACK WOMEN) IN THE BIBLE - (photos prints in color)There are many "Black Woman" in the Bible - all descendants of "Ham," (Noah's dark-skinned son) Gen.10:6-29. However, because "all" women in the Bible are always depicted as "White/Caucasian," in books, pictures, films, sculptures, and even pictorial Bibles, you wouldn't know that! So, today, we will "Unveil" (Black Women) in the Bible. There are "32" women featured in this book. Not only are their stories finally being told, but each is also displayed with a beautiful, colorful photo that represents what they could have looked like during their lifetime (Old Testament) as well as (New Testament) eras. To better understand the diversity of peoples on the earth, we must get an understanding of "how" it all came about. Here's how it began:When God decided to end the old world with a "flood" (saving only Noah, his wife, "3" sons and their wives); "8" people in all, the entire earth became populated from these "8" people who were already descendants of mixed races of people.No one was cursed "Black" as African-Americans have been told by religious, racist White people, but were already (Black/dark-skinned) when they entered the Ark. Scripture lists each of their descendants. Noah's wife was "Caucasian," but Noah, himself, was a "dark-skinned" man. We draw this conclusion by the sons Noah produced. Noah's oldest son, (Japheth) carried more of his mother's "Caucasian/melanin deficient" gene. According to Scripture, his descendants all migrated to a colder climate known today as (Europe). There are only "4" short verses in the book of (Genesis) stating where Japheth's descendants eventually settled - nothing more, no history whatsoever! When we research each of the places listed, they are all, indeed, regions that makeup "Europe" (Gen.10:2-5); the homeland of the White race.The entire rest of the "Old Testament," and "New Testament" is the history of Noah's other (2) sons: "(Shem)," and "(Ham)!" Shem was Noah's middle son. He inherited a balanced mixture of both parents; taking on more of a typical Middle Eastern complexion (light tan/brown). The history of Shem's descendants covers "11" verses in Genesis, (Gen.10:21-32). But the Jews living in Israel today are "not" bloodline descendants of "Shem" (ancient Israel) - they converted to Judaism many years later. They are called "Ashkenazi Jews," meaning, they are bloodline descendants of "Japheth" (melanin-deficient Caucasian)!This explains why it appears strange to us that racist Whites hate White Jews (they all look alike). Both carry the same melanin-deficient DNA of "Japheth!" The only difference is their religion.But Noah's youngest son, "(Ham)" inherited his father's (dark-skinned)! And his descendants' history covers more verses than his "2' brothers (Japheth, and Shem); Ham's descendants' history covers, "14" verses - the most! (Gen.10:6-20). Both "Shem" and "Ham's" history can be followed throughout the Old and New Testament Scriptures. And surprisingly, their descendants married "interracially;" regularly, i.e., "Moses" (Shem descendant, married "Zipporah," Ham descendant) Num.12. So, here's where we find the history of (Black Women) in the Bible. So, come, learn more of our "hidden" Spiritual History of Black Women in the Bible)!"

What if the most steadfast faith you'll ever encounter comes from a Black grandmother? The church mothers who raised Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University School of Divinity, were busily focused on her survival. In a world hostile to Black women's bodies and spirits, they had to be. Born on a former cotton plantation and having fled the terrors of the South, Pierce's grandmother raised her in the faith inherited from those who were enslaved. Now, in the pages of In My Grandmother's House, Pierce reckons with that tradition, building an everyday womanist theology rooted in liberating scriptures, experiences in the Black church, and truths from Black women's lives. Pierce tells stories that center the experiences of those living on the underside of history, teasing out the tensions of race, spirituality, trauma, freedom, resistance, and memory. A grandmother's theology carries wisdom strong enough for future generations. The Divine has been showing up at the kitchen tables of Black women for a long time. It's time to get to know that God.
I Found God in Me is the first womanist biblical hermeneutics reader.
