Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Baptist clergyman Sims offers a collection of sermons by prominent black ministers focusing on the spiritual and social crises facing black men and how they can find renewal and redemption. Sims introduces the collection by highlighting the dire circumstances of black men in America: high illiteracy and unemployment rates, poor health and shorter life spans, and high rates of incarceration--half the men on death row are black. These bleak circumstance figure prominently in the sermons from contributors, who include Jeremiah Wright Jr., Charles E. Booth, Walter S. Thomas, Otis Moss, and Ralph West. Using biblical references and contemporary life experiences, the contributors explore the particular problems facing black men and offer powerful messages on overcoming societal and personal obstacles. The ministers take to task the American social policies that perpetuate discrimination, from inequitable public school systems to racial profiling, but also criticize black men who direct their fury at those closest to them. This is a powerful collection of inspirational messages aimed at filling a gap in a genre that has been targeted mostly at black women. Vanessa Bush

This review is from: Sound The Trumpet! Messages to Empower African American Men (Paperback)
Darryl Sims does a wonderful job highlighting the state of emergency for African American males living in the U.S. Through the many different sermons all the issues are brought to the forefront that Black men must deal with daily. The contributors are quite forthright in their attack on racism and other socio political realities that prevent Black men from reaching their fullest potential in this country. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be encouraged and informed and empowered through the words on the pages.
