Required Reading is a new monthly series of recommendations on material for study in light of a particular topic.

With the topic of #progress and February being Black History Month, Rev.

All are invited to add a recommendation by posting a comment below.
Rev. Kelvin Sauls: Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman – This book demonstrates how the gospel may be read as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. Jesus’ life offers a solution to ending the descent into moral nihilism.
Tricia Hamilton: Real Life Devotions and Funny Stories for Women (2007) – It is the perfect devotional for women. It provides scripture, truth, and make me laugh through my tears!
