New Bible Released To Target African American Women
African American women are among the most religious people in the entire United States. This has led Thomas Nelson, a Christian publisher, to pursue this demographic by creating a bible that is specifically targeted toward African American women. The project is called, The Sisters in Faith Holy Bible: Encouraging and Empowering African-American Women with God’s Truth.
The book will be made available on January 1, 2013 on the Internet and in stores. Executive editors Michele Clark Jenkin and Stephanie Perry Moore are seeking to give a black perspective on understanding the bible to those who seek it. They are the co-founders of “Sisters in Faith,” designed to create products for black women who seek out the teachings of the bible.
“African-American women have a different history and a different presence from any other demographic,” said Jenkins. “Their history is characterized by strength in the face of instability; making a-way out of no-way and self-definition in the face of a lost identity. A substantial number of African-American women are working mothers and oftentimes single mothers. Most are looking to cut a new path. The Sisters in Faith Bible is designed to speak directly to the specific needs of this group of women.”

Continue to believe in the perverted catholic ZEUS/JEUS/JESUS, your LORD and “SAVE-YOURS”…
The sad part is this book will be a best seller…
Most likely it will end up sitting on someone coffee table looking pretty, and when a child, especially a male touches the book, some Black woman will say “Get your nasty hands off that book, that is the LORD’s book, and you do not have any business learning how to read”…
PB Short…You know, you know, and that’s really the truth!
That’s why blacks are confused and ignore religion today,listen to motivational speakers instead, who won’t take a position on even simple things like abortion or gay lifestyles. Many youth turn to other World religions like Islam or meditation seeking inner peace w/o really studying them. Others, like their parents only trust the masta…Billy Graham, Joel Osteen Church of Oprah. C’mon sisters we have to wake up! Do your research and compare everything in the big books, bible, quran, torah, book of the dead, baga vita, etc. Offer the sisters viewpoint and commentary of why you think certain things will work for a black person anywhere in the African diaspora now or in the future. Also, you should have different people of different religions and no religion helping including a historian of African religion. Women have/can play a much greater role in knowing the “Creator” if we understand.
The truth is there is only one “version” of the truth. The Bible is not specific to any demographic nor can it be rewritten to cater to any demographic, in doing so you remove the (already lost) authenticity of the scripture. If you truly believe the Bible as God’s Word, logic will tell you once “Man” has interjected his personal beliefs and agendas to create different versions of a Divine Book it becomes “Man’s” word and pushes God aside. Think of all the contradictions throughout the Bible; knowing that God is perfect this is a true believer’s indication and proof that today’s Bible is not the true Word of God. God gave us the ability to think…use it!
As long as they don’t take the talking donkey part out we cool. Pimp that Bible.

Can’t change Gods word we don’t need another bible to explain anyting we just have to do what God’s words say and pray .
There may be some miscommunication here, because I thought the young woman was talking about how many women wait on GOD to sent that special person to them and miss the blessing that GOD may have for you that may be living next door or someone you meet at the store or at some other event… Because I can’t remember any where in the Bible where it tells a woman to wait for a husband or a man to wait for a wife… What I got from what the lady is saying that the preaches are telling women to wait on the LORD while they are creeping into some of these women homes that are living alone or with their children and taking advantage of their position in the Church!!!
They’re also missing the point that the Bibles they’re using is King James version. Look up when he reigned, and acknowledge that the world was here long before.
You are correct, and you know, you know it…
