Publisher's Synopsis
Sacred Convergence of Black Faith & Black Power: A Lenten Devotional for RCL Year C by Reverend Amiri B. Hooker is a powerful and deeply rooted spiritual resource that weaves together Black history, liberation theology, and the sacred practices of Lent. This devotional is a call to action, urging churches and individuals to embrace justice, faith, and transformation through daily scripture reflections, prayers, and thought-provoking insights.
Rooted in the traditions of the Black Church, this Lenten guide offers a 40-day journey of reflection, repentance, and renewal. It uniquely bridges the observance of Lent with the legacy of Black faith leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Sojourner Truth, James Cone, and Stacey Abrams. Each day's devotional challenges believers to see Lent not just as a personal time of fasting and prayer, but as an opportunity to engage in the struggle for justice, dismantle oppression, and embrace God's call to liberation.
With weekly themes focusing on liberation, reconciliation, suffering, and resurrection, Sacred Convergence serves as a transformative tool for congregations seeking a meaningful Lenten experience. This devotional is perfect for churches committed to social justice, faith communities looking to explore the intersection of faith and Black history, and individuals longing for a Lenten guide that speaks to both the soul and society.
For those seeking a Lenten resource that speaks boldly, prophetically, and unapologetically about faith and justice, this book is a must-have. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and spiritually renewed as you walk this sacred path of Black faith and power toward Easter morning.
