Tender and devotional figures in clay from an ordained minister and self-described testimonial artist Born and based in Brooklyn, sculptor Reverend Joyce McDonald (born 1951) crafts moving testimonies to themes that have shaped her life: hope, grace and serenity, but also hardship, loss and devotion. As an ordained minister in the Church of the Open Door, spirituality and service are integral to McDonald's life and work. Her work often depicts figures in repose or embrace, embodying the strength, support and unconditional love that has sustained her life. The first museum exhibition devoted to her work, Ministry surveys the McDonald's prolific output since the 1990s, bringing together early works in air-dry clay and found materials with recent glazed ceramics. It presents a nuanced view of McDonald's biography, incorporating archival materials that trace her family and upbringing in Brooklyn's Farragut houses as well as her decades of exhibiting art as a member of Visual AIDS. The catalog features critical essays by Kyle Croft, the exhibition's curator, and Jareh Das, as well as an interview with McDonald conducted by artist Rafael Sánchez.
From slave to Doctor of Philosophy to preacher, Thomas Nelson Baker exemplifies the struggles and rewards of becoming and being an educated Black man in Jim Crow America. His biography is both a lesson in history and a source of inspiration. The Rev. Dr. Thomas Nelson Baker was the first known African American to receive a Ph.D. in Philosophy in the United States. Born a slave in 1860 in Eastville, Virginia, Dr. Baker spent his youth and early manhood as a farm laborer, sporadically attending schools for freed people until he was 12 years old. Abbreviated as his education was, he nonetheless gained from it an unquenchable love of learning, dreaming of once more sitting in a classroom. The opportunity to do so came when he was 21 years of age at which time he entered Gen’l. George Chapman Armstrong’s Hampton Agricultural & Normal School, graduating in 1885. After teaching for one year in Virginia’s Dismal Swamp, he attended Mount Hermon Boys’ School in Massachusetts, coming under the influence of evangelist D.L. Moody. He thereafter entered Boston Univ (B.A. 1893), receiving the highest of honors. Three years at Yale Divinity (B.D. 1896) were followed by postgraduate work at Yale (Ph.D. 1903). While a student at Yale he was minister of Dixwell Congregational Church, the oldest Black Congregational church in the U.S. Called in 1901 to the pulpit of 2nd Congregational Church in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, he remained in that position until retiring in 1939. Published in national journals and local newspapers, an early advocate of Black Pride, woman suffrage and ecumenicalism, Dr. Baker died in 1941. This book will appeal to and be readable by readers of general African American biography, people affiliated with Dr. Baker’s schools, those seeking inspiration for life. It will be of particular importance to historians and scholars of philosophy, religion, education, and African American life. Dr. Baker’s connections to Armstrong and Moody, as well as a volatile relationship with W.E.B. DuBois, will, in addition, contribute meaningfully to the biographies of these men.

What is the connection between a rather unflattering item of clothing and the French trapeze artist Jules Léotard? Which filling did the Earl of Sandwich opt for when he made his great culinary invention? And was there really a Sir Oswald Binge whose week-long feasts were notorious for their excess?The Reverend Guppy's Aquarium answers these and many other questions drawn from the remoter corners of the English language, exploring the lives of an extraordinarily diverse range of people who happen to have one thing in common: by chance or deliberately, they have left their names deeply embedded in the language and consciousness of future generations. Each figure has something to tell us about a moment in history, or a discovery or invention, whether it's László Biró and his pioneering writing implement, or Étienne de Silhouette who, having fallen from grace at the French court, spent much of the later part of his life mournfully cutting out paper shapes. Not to mention the Reverend Robert Lechmere Guppy, fish-discoverer extraordinaire.Each life in The Reverend Guppy's Aquarium is quirky and often bizarre. Few of them would merit a footnote, let alone an entry, in the history books. But they all reveal that the prospect of immortality is only a fluke away. In an age of instant 15-minute celebrity, that's a reassuring thought.
When the Reverend Mark Allison Matthews died in February 1940, thousands of mourners gathered at a Seattle church to pay their final respects. The Southern-born Presbyterian came to Seattle in 1902. He quickly established himself as a city leader and began building a congregation that was eventually among the nation's largest, with nearly 10,000 members. Throughout his career, he advocated Social Christianity, a blend of progressive reform and Christian values, as a blueprint for building a morally righteous community.In telling Matthews's story, Dale Soden presents Matthews's multiple facets: a Southern-born, fundamentalist proponent of the Social Gospel; a national leader during the tumultuous years of schism within the American Presbyterian church; a social reformer who established day-care centers, kindergartens, night classes, and soup kitchens; a colorful figure who engaged in highly public and heated disputes with elected officials. Much of the controversy that surrounded Matthews centered on the proper relationship between church and state — an issue that is still hotly debated.
From New York Times bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby comes the ninth installment in her award-winning Reverend Curtis Black series. It's been months since Reverend Curtis learned that his wife Charlotte had affairs with two different men, and for now, he continues to be cordial and respectful to her. But he's also made it clear that once their son Matthew graduates high school, he will be filing for divorce. Charlotte, on the other hand, continues to do everything possible to make amends in hopes of saving their marriage. Unfortunately, Curtis is ready to move on and is being propositioned by a woman who desperately wants to become the next Mrs. Curtis Black. When the situation heads down a path that is frighteningly shocking, could it be the final blow to this once blessed union?
