Overview

In the 1980's when the author was ordained as a minister there were very few African American women in that role. That has changed during the past 30 years and this book gives you an inspiring glimpse into what it takes to persevere and build a successful career in the ministry. Throughout the book there are opportunities for the reader to stop and think about what they have read. These places are designed to allow the Holy Spirit to hover over your spirit and to speak to the deep (and maybe not so deep) places in you. I Was Tired Today: Readings and Reflections on being an African American Clergywoman captures important insights from the author's personal journey and inspires others to keep going forward - even when they are tired.
