Dr. Anne Wimberly's New Book "Raising Hope: Four Paths to Courageous Living for Black Youth"
This book gives tried-and-true methods to effectively reach out to Black youth and motivate them to make healthier choices that promise positive outcomes. The authors offer: 1) a narrative orientation that links real life with Christian faith supports and helps youth ask the right questions; 2) an artistic method that provides a cathartic space where youth can express themselves through poetry, music, and visual arts; 3) a curricular approach that centers specifically on conflict resolution; and 4) exposure to new possibilities.

Olu Brown's New Book
Leadership Directions from Moses answers the questions, "How can I remain effective in answering my own call, when the people around me—some of whom are trusted friends and colleagues—will not (or cannot) stay on the journey we’ve set out to complete? How can I keep moving forward, when the path suddenly becomes so difficult?" This book covers topics like how to help others leave gracefully, how to not be upended when others choose to leave, how to have difficult conversations, and how to find unexpected opportunity in the challenge of new vacancies. It is full of practical help, including examples from pastors and churches across the US. It is also filled with compassion and wisdom—a pastoral book for pastors facing this difficult, nuanced, and often-emotional topic. ---> Click here to purchase a copy Gammon Students at the 1000 Ministers March (DC 2017)
