Theres Enough Woman Left To Be Your Lady
$17.99Add to cartUsing biblical characters such as the woman with an issue of blood, Junious Epps Jr. shows how women are bleeding with issues that keep them bent over until they reach out to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Life knocks us all off balance, sometimes making it hard to get back on our feet. Hot rays of testing can turn a woman’s mind, home, job, and even church life into a wilderness of relentless turmoil. Having felt disconnected, isolated, and not able to make sense of blatant hypocrisy, women realize that the only answer to their survival is to tread the “wilderness” of rejection, which ultimately strengthens them to totally submit to God’s Spirit. Dr. Epps reminds women that in moments of indecision, God offers them a breakthrough revelation that they need to confront their trials and overcome their obstacles. Only in the wilderness can they discover their true path in life, ministry, fellowship, and anointing. There’s Enough Woman Left to Be Your Lady is a companion for every woman who wants to walk through even the most difficult days side by side with her Lord.

Teaching The Art Of Cosmetics
$14.99Add to cartThis is not just a how-to book to change the outside appearance but also to help change the inside. In everything we do, we should in some way correlate God’s Word. He needs to be everything in life before life can be everything it can be. I have found that even women who confess to have a relationship with God are still trying to impress the people of the world with the way they look on the outside but forget about changing the inside. Looking your best is important but not the most important. When we fix our eyes on Jesus first, the transformation both inside and outside will be remarkable. This is a book on training in skin care and makeup but more importantly on how to keep the training of God’s Word in all we do.

Truth Seeker
$15.49Add to cartCut off from our connection with the divine, humankind is afflicted by a metaphysical anxiety, which is now a global condition. The Truth Seeker is one woman’s journey to try and combat this malaise. Through poetry and prose, Lucy White questions her beliefs and tries to make sense of the secular and the sacred in her search for a connection with that essence of divine love we call God.

At present the secular outweighs the sacred and the male force outweighs the female force. Balancing these forces could bring peace and harmony to the world.

Hope In The Holler
$29.00Add to cartFor more than three hundred years, black women have embodied a theology of hope, which has enabled them to overcome a history of abuse and violence. While a theology of hope has been widely discussed in twentieth century theology, it was born in slavery long before Jurgen Moltmann introduced it to America in 1967. Even womanist notions of hope have not explored the theological character of hope in abused black women’s narratives. Crawford argues that hope is the theological construct that moves black women beyond endurance and survival to transformation of their personal and communal realities. This book identifies and analyzes the theological vision of hope voiced within the narratives of enslaved, emancipated, and contemporary black women and brings that vision into discussion with contemporary womanist theologies

When Marian Sang
$19.99Add to cartThe creative team behind Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride returns with a picture book biography as understated and graceful as its subject, singer Marian Anderson (1897-1993). Tracing the African-American diva from her beginnings as an eight-year-old church choir wonder (“the pride of South Philadelphia”) through years of struggle to rise above the racism that would delay her debut with the Metropolitan Opera until she was 57, this book masterfully distills the events in the life of an extraordinary musician. Ryan’s narrative smoothly integrates biographical details with lyrics from the gospel songs Anderson made famous: a passage about the budding singer’s longing to perform onstage (“Opera was simply the sun and the moon a dream that seemed too far away to reach”) segues to “He’s got the sun and the moon right in His hands”; “Sometimes I feel like a motherless child…” follows a 2/3 spread of the singer on the bow of a ship bound for Europe, the sun creating a halo effect. Working with a sepia-toned palette, Selznick’s paintings shimmer with emotion, his range of shading as versatile as Anderson’s three-octave voice. Whether depicting her as barely visible beyond the crowds at her famous 1939 concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or in a final scene of her stepping into the spotlight at the Met, the images are striking and memorable (particularly the soulful face of Marian herself as she matures from child to woman). The author’s and artist’s notes, timeline and discography round out this stellar effort. Ages 6-10.
