Böcker av Carolyn Booker-Pierce

The author wrote More than a Village to give some insight into how raising black men in American took more than two parents. There are stories about how aunties and uncles were instrumental in the three men's lives as they grew up, and even how grandpas and grandmas play a role. In addition, the neighbors, neighborhoods, schools, and churches helped shape and influence black men in America. There were positive, and a few negative experiences that help two sons and a bonus become great husbands, fathers, and sons. But, it took more than a village to help raise three amazing black men in America.

"The Lord is My Shepherd" is compilation of short story testimonies of how Psalm 23 comes alive in the personal life of the writer, Carolyn Booker-Pierce. These are real life incidents that confirm Christ Jesus as a being a good Shepherd who cares for his sheep, God's people. She tells of the incredible moment when she needed immediate help, and the Lord, her Shepherd, shows up and takes amazing care of her. Sometimes it seems like no one was there, but the Shepherd was always there. He was there to make sure there was a place to live, a job to go to, and healing when sickness or death threatens to take her life. When things seemed impossible, the Shepherd proved he knew how to take care of his sheep. Because the Lord is our Shepherd, Psalm 23 has personal meaning to a person in need, that is me.
