Memoir of a Black Christian Nationalist carefully explores the personal viewpoint of what it is like to get involved. It is loaded with examples of growth and change. It also challenges us to be our best wherever we are. It is an excellent blueprint of hard work, study, and commitment. I highly recommend this book. It is a perfect way to keep track of the unique struggle for self-determination and power. -Rosa Njeri Boyd, Master of Social Justice Congratulations to Dr. McIntosh on the writing of 'Memoir of a Black Christian Nationalist. It is both inspiring and informative. It was an awakening for me. Being raised as a Methodist Christian, the history of Africans or Blacks did not go beyond Slavery in America and that was not even a thorough accounting. Your Memoirs filled a hole in who I am, bringing meaning and purpose to my life. I thank you for sharing your journey. What a blessing that your life journey crossed with someone like Rev. Albert Cleage, changing your beliefs and experiences forever. Thanks! Marion C. Godine, Retired Educator, School Administrator, and Assistant Professor Reading Dr. Shelley McIntosh's thoughtful, well-written memoir about her experience as a Black Christian Nationalist (BCN) was very intriguing, heartfelt, and illuminating. I learned a lot. I appreciated her personal take on the organization, and I also liked the Appendixes where she let her readers know many more facts about the Black Christian Nationalist movement. The charts were eye-opening, for instance, where she shows the differences between Slave Culture Mentality and the BCN Counterculture stances. This was very good reading for a white woman like myself, quite educational. Deborah Perdue, Author Memoir of a Black Christian Nationalist: Seeds of Liberation is compelling. This memoir will inspire you to learn more about the Shrines of the Black Madonna through Dr. Shelley McIntosh's 30 plus years as a member. Her testaments about God, Black Theology and faith will have you turning the pages to explore her expanded knowledge and awareness. Dadisi Mwende Netifnet Author of Upward Road: The Autobiography of a Poet In this book, Memoir of a Black Christian Nationalist-Seeds of Liberation, Shelley McIntosh tells the incredible story of her life and provides rich details about the little-known Shrines of the Black Madonna. She reveals the narrative honestly, with passion and integrity. The author provides a positive and uplifting message about the people and events that happened in her life. I'm encouraged and amazed how much Black Christian Nationalists made an enormous difference in the lives of the people they reached. This story reveals how the tangible practices of providing basic necessities for those who needed them provided a foundation for growth and leadership to help create a more humane world. With so much social unrest currently surrounding us, this book looks at an important part of US history, including an incredible outline to help mend racism, injustice, and poverty. I recommend this book to readers of all races and religions so we can better understand one another and build a better world. Joni Wilson
