Letters of Light for First Ladies

Esteemed first lady of Bishop John Bryant in the AME Church and an honored pastor in her own right, Rev. Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant has complied a collection of letters that mentor other first ladies of the church, letters rich in comfort, encouragement, and challenge. Written in the tradition of Paul's pastoral epistles and crafted by Rev C's own poetic voice, each chapter addresses a woman who is wrestling with a particular issue common to first ladies--covering topics such as church conflict, financial stress, self esteem, discouragement, and the death of a pastoral spouse. One letter even offers advice to the woman whose husband is the "pastor's spouse." A practical and inspirational resource that offers self-help with spiritual depth and honest practicality.
