Book Reviews of Daughters of Thunder: Black Women Preachers and Their Sermons, 1850-1979
Book Review: Powerful stories & sermons of powerful, inspiring women
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Collier-Thomas has written a flowing commentary on the tribulations of people called by God to preach and then battered in their odysseys to fulfill that calling because of their gender as well as their race. Ms. Collier-Thomas' prose is a joy to read. She sets the background in which each of these remarkable women worked, as well as recounting fairly and evenly the issues of contention they lived through. The book is worthwhile for the sermons alone -- the biographies and history make it a "must read" for feminists, historian, spiritual seekers, and Christians alike.
