More Christian Than African-American

And Other Ways Jesus Turned My Life Upside Down
  • By Kimberly Cash Tate

Product Description
For almost thirty years, Kimberly Cash Tate lived, moved and had her being in blackness. That was who she was. Her decisions, judgments, attitudes and opinionsthe way she saw the worldwere all filtered through her black lens. Even gender issues paled in relative importance. She was black first. A woman second. But then she acquired another defining adjectiveChristianand her world was turned completely upside down. In More Christian than African-American, Kimberly shares her life before and after Christ. In transparent prose, she leads the reader through the seasons of growing up in Prince Georges County, Maryland, reveling in college and finding the love of her life during law schoolonly to risk losing him when he accepted a position in Madison, Wisconsin. What black woman in her right mind would volunteer to move there? It was too white. Ultimately, it was the Lord who moved Kimberly to Madison, where He saved her and utterly transformed her view of marriage, motherhood and the career shed worked so long and hard to achieve. As she ventured beyond the familiarity of race, God changed her identity. quot;All of us are children of God first and foremost, and Kim Tates message is such an important one for every Christian. Each of us has the deep human tendency to look for our identity in something that we think defines us whether that be our job, our gender, our special skills, or our culture. As Kim courageously tells her story of realizing just how much more she had defined herself as a lawyer, a go-getter and a black woman than simply as a Christian, I found the Holy Spirit gently opening my eyes to ways that I too have defined myself by something other than my identity in Christ. Kim, thank you. You are a trailblazer. And although you are a Christian first and foremost, youre also one captivating writer quot; Shaunti Feldhahn, best-selling author of For Women Only: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men quot;Kim Tate is right. The idea of having feelings about any other culture or race is certainly not Christ centered. The scriptures say that there is neither Greek nor Jewslave nor free, nor male or female. We are all one in Christ. May this book awaken you to understand that faith in Christ and obedience to His Commands is more valuable than your opinion of others.quot; Dr. Thelma Wells, D.D., President A Woman of God Ministries, Dallas, Texas - www.thelmawells.com quot;God loves to take a life, draw it to Himself and turn our worlds upside down because without Him we get it all wrong. Its exciting to read how God did just that in Kimberlys life. He transformed her as a wife, a mother and a black woman. Its an exciting and inspiring journey and I hope each reader will be challenged by her story.quot; Barbara Rainey Family Life Ministries, Author and Speaker quot;Kimberly Cash is a prophetic voice pointing believers of every color and race to the truth that when we belong to Christ, our identity is in Him. Kim Cash teaches this lesson by weaving it into her life story. God, in his grace and providential timing brought her to the realization that as a black Christian she can and should rejoice in her blackness. But the guiding principle for every decision, every choice, including voting, is informed by this absorbing books title: More Christian than African American.quot; Penna Dexter Christian Radio Host
