These are prayers for your moments of gratitude and celebration. For your seasons of loss and waiting. For your days when prayers come, not in words but in groans. When We Talk to God, from poet-theologian Sharifa Stevens, captures the arc and the ache of our lives.
A beautiful interweaving of prayers and poems for Black women, this unique book encourages you to lift up your whole heart and loudest voice to God.

- An invitation to journey through honest lamentation and heartfelt joy to find greater peace in a turbulent world
- Poems and prayers exploring topics from job interviews to grief, from braiding hair to feeling invisible, from parenting to dancing
- Validation and inspiration for Black women of faith, by a Black woman speaking from her life to yours
- A relatable and authentic voice that frees you to present your own prayers and praises to the God who hears you, sees you, and loves you
- A beautiful gift idea for Mother's Day, Grandparents' Day, International Women's Day, spiritual anniversaries, and birthdays
Ideal for Black women of any age and background, When We Talk to God is a balm to your spirit and soul as it urges you to go to God with all of who you are and with everything you can or cannot say."
"Through Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s words and Bible verses, kids will discover that Dr. King's Christian faith was the foundation for his activism and that God calls us to stand up for justice and love. This devotional for children will inspire the next generation with the passion of Dr. King, America's greatest Black leader, and equip them to make a difference for God, both today and tomorrow.
Through Dr. King's timeless words, children ages 8 to 12 will be challenged and inspired to
- 'drive out darkness' with light and love;
- go to the Bible for the truth about evil, love, identity, and responsibility;
- respect the Creator-given human dignity in everyone;
- build relationships across boundaries and spread kindness in all communities; and
- stand for God's truth about themselves and others.
This 60-day devotional for older children includes
- a short biography of Dr. King that focuses on his belief in God's Word as the basis of his activism;
- 60 devotions written just for kids, each featuring Scripture, a quote from Dr. King, and a challenge to live out the truth; and
- inspiring stories of young participants of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
Today's children are passionate about social justice and want to be change makers. This devotional shows kids that following Christ is an essential element of the fight for justice and empowers them to actively live out their faith.
'If we are to go forward, if we are to make this a better world in which to live, we've got to go back. . . . We've got to go back and rediscover the principle that there is a God behind the process.' --Martin Luther King Jr."
