BOOK RELEASE - LESSONS IN TRUTH: SELECTED SERMONS VOLUME 1
Author - Dr. E. Gail Anderson Holness
Washington, DC (BlackNews.com) - Small in stature, but powerful in praise, Dr E. Gail Anderson Holness offers sermonic teachings with an unceremonious tone. Her book,
Lessons in Truth: Selected Sermons Volume I was released on October 3, 2006 and is packed with biblical teachings relevant to our everyday lives as Christians. The book is already in its Second Printing.
Dr. Holness, a college administrator, columnist, lawyer, motivational speaker, human rights activist, lecturer, businesswoman, Sr. Pastor, itinerate elder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and author has truly been called to share her preaching/teaching ministry from the pulpit to the streets. She has pastored in the A.M.E. church and presently serves as Minister for Young Adults at the historic Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC.
Dr. Holness effortlessly blends bible verses with popular culture jargon to speak to Christians of all ages. Chapters such as "You Are All That" and "'Bout It, 'Bout It" speak directly to the youth culture, offering messages and teachings that resound with young Christians trying to walk in faith in an ever-increasingly secular world, while "It's All Right To Be Single" resounds with more mature Christians seeking to understand the vocations of marriage and single life in the in today's world and their role in the life of the Church. Her life changed upon graduation from Howard Law School when she became the youngest member of the defense team of The State of Georgia v Wayne B. Williams known as "Atlanta's Missing and Murdered Children's case."
Andrew Billingsley, Ph.D in his foreword stated, "She is a spiritual and cultural embodiment of Jarena Lee. She moves ahead with an inspiriting delivery, sometimes sounding more like the Baptist country preacher which Dubois described, and at other times reflecting the highest levels of intellectual reasoning as befitting her training and upbringing."
Julia Hare, Ph.D in her foreword stated, "They call her the Fannie Lou Hamer of the pulpit, because her sermons leave no room for listeners to become 'sick and tired of being sick and tired'.
Lessons in Truth is nothing but the 'Truth' and a must read for all who are in need of encouragement, strength and hope for day to day living."
Dr. Holness is the 10th child of Mrs. Beatrice Jacobs Anderson and the late Jasper R. Anderson, Sr. She is the proud mother of 18-year-old Spelman College sophomore Ali Gail Holness.
