The Substance of Things Hoped for: A Memoir of African-American Faith
by Samuel D. ProctorJudson Press (Jul 01, 1999)
Read Detailed Book Description
Honored by universities, ministries, and institutions nationwide, called into service in the administration of two presidents, Samuel DeWitt Proctor, Th.D. has established himself as a preeminent theologian, orator, and educator in this country. In The Substance of Things Hoped For, he takes us on a personal journey that begins with his grandparents’ slavery and which ends with his vision of a full fruition of the African-American experience, and a celebration of the tie that holds African-American together: simple, tenacious faith. A child of the segregation-era south, Proctor is no stranger to unwarranted hatred and widespread ignorance. He has fought against racism all his life — in his schools, in his communities, and at the pulpit. In this compelling memoir, he candidly reveals the tumult of the civil rights movement in which he was deeply involved, the bitterness and anger of youths then that has exploded into the hopelessness, rage and despair of today’s youths who feel they have no future. But through all of these times, Dr. Proctor has always been a beacon of hope; here, he recounts those inspiring times when his faith has shined brightest. One man’s positive plan for today’s society, The Substance of Things Hoped For is inspiration at its most heartfelt, delivered with warmth and conviction, and founded in a lifetime of faith and reflection.
Good News!: Sermons of Hope for Today’s Families
by Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.Judson Press (Dec 15, 1995)
Read Detailed Book Description
Families today come in all shapes and sizes and face all kinds of issues and struggles. In Good News!, Jeremiah Wright Jr., preaches a word of hope and challenge to family members—married or single, bad or good, accepted or outcast. Never one to shy away from controversy, Dr. Wright sheds a new light on some of the most vulnerable and troublesome spots Christians find themselves in—family settings. Parenting, relating to a spouse, looking for a role model, sexuality, and making up for past failures are just a few of the issues raised by Dr. Wright’s sermons and the study questions that follow.
In his inimitable style, Dr. Wright uses candor, wit, and unmistakable power to convey the message to everyone that “God has some good news for you.” As always, his writing is both fascinating and confrontational as he shows what it means to see our human family as the place where we learn to live as members of God s family.
