Lessons From The Black Church (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798899400643)

Growing up in the Black church wasn't just a part of life - it was the foundation for life.

In Lessons from the Black Church, LaKyshia Jones invites readers into a heartfelt journey through the traditions, teachings, and timeless wisdom she gained as a child at Evangelist Temple Church of God in Christ. Through powerful storytelling, she shares how the pews, the programs, and the prayers taught her discipline, leadership, service, and faith.

From Easter speeches and choir rehearsals to ushering souls to their seats and counting offering coins, every experience became a life lesson.

With honesty, love, and a touch of nostalgia, LaKyshia shows how the Black church community shaped her into the woman she is today - a mother, a wife, a teacher, a professor, and a servant leader.

This book is a tribute to the village that raised her and a celebration of the enduring power of faith, family, and community.

If you grew up surrounded by church mothers, Sunday School teachers, youth choirs, and testimony services - this book will feel like coming home.

Lessons from the Black Church reminds us that the seeds planted in faith continue to bear fruit - generation after generation.
