E. B. Du Bois asks, \"how does it feel to be a problem?\" This question has become a means of diagnosing the lived experience of Black men, particularly in America's most neglected and feared environment: the ghetto. What is often overlooked, however, is the vital role that spirituality has in remedying the problem. \u003ci\u003eA Gift Grows in the Ghetto\u003c\/i\u003e examines how not being in relationship with one's gift can lead to feelings of despair, entrapment, and abandonment, all of which contribute to Black men feeling as though they are nothing more than a problem. By utilizing the biblical story of Ishmael's miraculous survival, growth, and giftedness in the wilderness, the book encourages Black men to embrace a life of faith that is dependent on the God who always sees, nurtures, and is in relationship with us and our gifts in the wilderness and the ghetto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay-Paul Michael Hinds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 066426705X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664267056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jay-Paul Michael Hinds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070783942911,"sku":"9780664267056","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fee259ac-62ab-4b86-b3ce-84a76a7c06b3.jpg?v=1685432308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-gift-grows-in-the-jay-paul-michael-hinds-9780664267056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
