Book excerpt: This eightweek Bible study for African American women takes a closer look at the Book of Nehemiah to reveal parallels between the lives of Gods people rebuilding Jerusalem and the lives of presentday African Americans. Speaking directly to the presentday concerns of African American women, Berrys message is one of power and hope. This is a book, she says, to assist African American Christian women in uncovering the spiritual might to experience restoration and change their world for Christ.
