There are many stories in the bible about women and some of them are about women of African descent.  But the important thing is that all of these women were included in the Word of God for a reason.  None of them were backdrop for stories about men and two books of the bible are about and named after women.

In 2012 that may not sound remarkable, but for the men-are-the-only-ones-that-matter societies at the time the Bible was written down, this is nothing short of miraculous.  God spoke directly to the women of the Old Testament and in some cases made a point of the fact that He spoke directly to them.  Like in the story of Sarah, God asked her husband Abraham why Sarah laughed when God said that she was going to have a baby even though she…

My kids tell me that I’m old (not getting old anymore…but that I’ve arrived at old).  Notwithstanding where I am on that sliding scale, I still believe that anything I want to do and that God supports, I can still accomplish in this life.  Even now, if I really wanted to be a doctor, I could be that.  If I wanted to go back to school, I could certainly do that, and actually may do that.  If I wanted to change careers and start all over again at the bottom somewhere, I could also do that.  So why have so many people, even those decades younger than me, ascribed to the life philosophy of can’t, won’t, never?  “I can’t find a job”, “I won’t take that job”, “I’ll never be able to accomplish that”.  They would rather starve then…

Until recently, I didn’t give much thought to the trauma and emotional wreckage that is on the head of children that are separated from their parents. It doesn’t matter whether they are taken away or abandoned. If you have ever experienced a child go through such deep emotional pain that when they open their mouths to sob, no sound comes out, you will not easily cast off the plight of such children. You can hug them and try to console them, but you are strangers to them and they will still beg you to tell them where their mother or father is and when are they coming to get them.

It doesn’t matter that you live in a palace with all its finery and their parents live in a hovel, dining on ramen noodles night after night. We are made…

Why is there a need for an African-American Women’s Bible?

The Word of God is a living, breathing document that, uses the same words but speaks to everyone differently depending on who they are, their life experiences, and God’s direction for their lives. African-American women need to know that God intended His Word uniquely for them and that He has demonstrated, through that very Word, that as their Creator He understands just who they are; as their Savior, He is aware of what they have been through; and as their indwelling Spirit, He knows their heart.
