August is Women’s Emphasis Month at Big Bethel AME! To kickoff the month, I’m A Piece of Work! Sisters Shaped by Cynthia L. Hale has been chosen as our first book!
Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Hale has written out of her own experience of struggle in order to help other women realize and celebrate our uniqueness, acknowledge without shame our issues and challenges, and receive healing and forgiveness. I’m a Piece of Work! Sisters Shaped by God features poetry, reflections, and Scripture, taking women on a journey from brokenness to wholeness. It is a book designed to help women affirm themselves and to claim God’s best. — Judson Press

I have started reading the book and it is great. Just reading part 1 has made me think about times in my life when I have not been 100% true to God or myself. Hve others had similar experiences?
I finished the book and passed it on to another Big Bethel sister. I enjoyed the “homey” way in which the book was written. I was glad to see that Rev. Hale did not bash men to get her point across, as is sometimes found in books of this nature.
What do folks think of her declaration of celibacy?
