ALL Millennials are NOT the same.

The more I reviewed the literature, the more I saw the need for research and writing focused on black Millennials, because the findings and assertions about ‘all’ Millennials and their faith formation did not seem to ring true with what I was experiencing in the African American community and the black church.”

African American spirituals are the heart of all other American music and comprise the taproot of the musical expression of the black religious experience. "Go Down, Moses!" offers 365 daily devotions and includes a suggested Scripture reading for each day as well as a short prayer. Tying into the inspiration generated by African American spirituals, each devotion highlights the Negro spirituals that for decades have helped define African American religious culture. The suggested Scripture readings take readers through the first five books of the Old Testament, plus Joshua, and the first four books of the New Testament, plus Acts and Revelation. Readers are guided through a reading of the Bible during the course of one year.

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.

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.
