Download or read book The Ebony Exodus Project written by Candace R. M. Gorham and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women are the single most religious demographic in the United States, yet they are among the poorest, least educated, and least healthy groups in the nation. Drawing on the author's own past experience as an evangelical minister and her present work as a secular counselor and researcher, The Ebony Exodus Project makes a direct connection between the church and the plight of black women. Through interviews with African American women who have left the church, the author reveals the shame and suffering often caused by the church—and the resulting happiness, freedom, and sense of purpose these women have felt upon walking away from it. This book calls on other black women to honestly reflect on their relationship with religion and challenges them to consider that perhaps the answers to their problems rest not inside a church, but in themselves.

Book excerpt: The Masters brothers Yetti, Hayes, and Keys are the epitome of sibling love and loyalty. Their circle is tight, and no one comes before family. Keys being the oldest holds the family together since all they have are each other. However, each brother often takes the leading role when it comes to business and life decisions. Together, they run an empire that has allotted them money, respect and power, which of course fuels tensions and has enemies lurking in the shadows. Either way, they stand tall and they stand together. After surviving a traumatic childhood, all three brothers are left a little unstable, with hearts of stone. It drives them to succeed in the streets, but creates a void where matters of the heart are concerned. Yetti especially was dealing with some serious demons, one of which was forced by his mother choosing his life over hers. His past has made him unwilling to open up, and his motto in life has basically been hit and run as far as women were concerned. Their only benefit to him was to satisfy his needs. No connection, no emotional commitments. Reelle was exactly what Yetti needed, although neither of them realize it at the time. She is the ying to his yang, so to speak, and the peace in the middle of a storm. After being burned by the one person she put her all into, Reelle, much like Yetti, had no plans to give her heart away, but unfortunately the universe had other plans. Keys is set in his ways and enjoying life by his own terms. His status has placed him in the position to have just about any woman he sets his sights on until he runs across Asha. Their first encounter was one for the records. She took control and forced him to play by her rules This only fueled Keys’ curiosity and had him chasing her for more. Asha has no intention of being any man’s fool, not even the infamous Keys Masters. As much as she’s drawn to him, she fully intends to make him earn a role in her life, but little does she know, that attitude is what wins him over. Hayes is the baby of the family and seems to have it all together, with a long term girlfriend and beautiful baby girl, you’d think life should be perfect, however new struggles seem to be finding the two of them daily. These brothers and the women they’ve crossed paths with have a few life lessons to learn. It could either make them or break them especially when you add jealousy, and envy from outsiders. The streets aren’t kind when it comes to matters of the heart and defending your empire. Hopefully they will all find their way out with their hearts intact.

Download or read book Me And My Boyfriend Y A Series Book 7 written by Sarah Tork and published by Sarah Tork . This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Drama Continues…. I ask myself a few questions every day. Does time heal all wounds? Can a broken heart heal… eventually? Is love really worth it in the end? And the most important question of all… is forgiveness possible? For Becky Sloaner, when the two most important people in your life back stab you, trust and love were two things that couldn’t be brought back to the equation, no matter how badly those that hurt you were sorry. For Jenna Sabini, her whole life was about to crash. With friendships fizzling and ex swim team members going off to do their own thing, at least she still had Annabelle and Tom by her side to finish off senior year with. What’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like she had any dangerous enemies, lurking in the shadows waiting for her. Or… did she? For Tom Colleto, he’s had trouble remembering who his father was ever since he disappeared years ago. But things were getting strange. Faint warnings surprise him when he least expects it. A certain darkness has been creeping in the shadows, and Tom acknowledging it might mean the difference between life and something… very, very bad. For Annabelle Simms, the divorce her parents were on route for was tearing their family apart. When you’ve spent your entire life walking on eggshells, it was unfair that one moment of defiance would be the catalyst that ended everything. At least she still had two people she could count on, her best friend Jenna, and her boyfriend, James. With those two by her side, making it out of this nasty storm seemed possible, even if scars were guaranteed. For James Lawson, there were only two things he cared about. Winning fights and his girlfriend Annabelle. And nothing would ever change that. Reaching a high level of success under Rome’s rule in such a short period of time had everyone looking at James with new eyes. When you’re willing to risk it all for the win, Romilly Matos always noticed, and whether James was ready or not, he was about to enter a world where the bad sneaky guys ruled the game, all at the cost of the good guy. But business was business, and he was an asset now, one that Rome wouldn’t be letting go of, no matter how dangerous things got. Success always had a price.
