Unshakable Faith: African American Stories of Redemption, Hope and Community

What would it take to undo your faith?

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free... for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:28)

Each Christian comes with their own unique and difficult story of God’s work in their life. Many of these stories get lost to the ages. A precious few are captured and shared like these examples of faith that have stood the tests of time and trial. 

Sharing stories that you may not have heard before, Dr. Carey Latimore leads you deep into the lives of key women and men from colonial America to the present—people such as Cyrus Bustill, Harriet Tubman, and Kanye West. Their stories are set in times of grief, injustice, and intense social and economic division, which make the hope-filled lessons they teach us today all the more miraculous. 

You’ll learn about:

• Faith to sustain, forgive, inspire, and build the kingdom of God.

• Faith to focus on building strong families, communities, and organizations while recognizing that the Word of God is for everyone regardless of their background. 

• Faith to sojourn through the upheavals of life.

• Faith to inspire our spiritual journey in spite of tremendous economic, physical, and psychological challenges.  

And much more! 

Dr. Latimore said: “We can appreciate the strength of a people who refused to be destroyed and who fought and loved their way into our nation’s story. What more American story can exist than this?” And, what can be more Christian—loving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us!

Be encouraged through the testimonies of this “cloud of witnesses” who stood true to God when people and circumstances failed them.
