If our sons are to fulfill their God-given destinies, we must make them understand and translate for them the things that matter most. —Colin Pinkney Society can play a cruel role in lowering the expectations for young, Black men. But the truth is, God designed every life to be valuable and called each of us to a purpose. Everyone can live in that reality by focusing on the things that matter—faith, values, and perseverance. This book provides a message of hope for Black men and those who love them. Forty devotional insights and personal stories written by Black men will inspire you to view life through a biblical lens knowing that your life matters and that you can grow in your God-given abilities. The authors share how they have been discipled and trained, now passing their wisdom on to others in these true stories of success, failure, and overcoming.
