From the Back Cover

To encourage the potential and ease the pain. The African-American Devotional Bible is unique--the first devotional Bible expressing the faith of African Americans. Drawing on the wisdom of leadership of the Congress of National Black Churches (CNBC), its heartbeat is to encourage the potential and ease the pain of African-American Christians. It weds the complete Bible text with a year's worth of devotions that speak to the soul of our culture. Well-known African-American leaders bring the Bible's insights directly to bear on the black experience. The African-American Devotional Bible draws on the wisdom of men and women of faith and integrity--Bishops, Baptist Convention Presidents, pastors, clergy and lay leadership of CNBC's eight member denominations. You'll find experienced, truystworthy perspectives on how to face the problems and promise of our society with an overcoming faith in God. Two hundred sixty weekday and fifty-two weekend meditations address such vital topics as heritage, economic empowerment, racism, family life, community, justice, marriage, stewardship, and more. An article on African presence in the Bible gives you a fresh and encouraging look at our vital place throughout redemptive history. You'll also find book introductions, a special needs index, a description and history of the CNBC, and many other features. At last, here's a Bible designed especially for African Americans--one that will build you up in wisdom, faith, and hope for life today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, straightforward and interesting., June 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: KJV African-American Devotional Bible, The (Paperback)

The African-American Devotional Bible has proved to be a valuable tool. This bible is easy to understand, the devotions are right on time and apply directly to the chapter and scriptures. The history of the African American Churches is very impressive. I ordered this book for my daughter and I have yet to give it to her as I use it for Bible Study, Sunday School and Sunday morning worship. I am in the process of ordering books for the youth in our church, who have been begging me for months to get them a copy. Its a great book and I highly recommend it for all African Americans especially the African Methodist Episcopal Zion members.
