SHE SPEAKS

   By Michele Clark Jenkins

She Speaks: Wisdom from the Women of the Bible to the Modern Black Woman by Michele Clark Jenkins offers guidance for the African American woman based on the love of God for Jesus and us all.
This book takes the women of both the new and the old testaments and shows how God elevated these women even though man has put them down since the creation. Many of the featured biblical women have African descent but they all have God's love.
From Eve to Jezebel and Hannah, nearly all the major women in the Bible are represented here. There is a complete biblical reference and strong parallels between today's African American woman and each woman in the Bible.
There's not a lot of reading in the book, many pages have just a paragraph or a few sentences and a picture of a woman on them. I was surprised to find that the book had photos and color print as this is unusual and eye catching. This would make a nice gift book. Also I think that women of European, Asian and other descent could also benefit, as many of us don't clearly understand the African American woman's experience with her faith.
