Description
God Is a Black Woman by Christena Cleveland is a powerful exploration of faith and identity. After years of speaking about racial reconciliation, the author found herself questioning the traditional God she had been taught to worship - one that seemed to prioritize white men over all people. Cleveland's journey took her on a 400-mile walking pilgrimage to ancient shrines in France, where she sought healing in the Sacred Black Feminine. Along the way, she uncovered a history of how America's collective idea of God as a white man has perpetuated hurt, hopelessness, and racial and gender oppression. This book is a chronicle of Cleveland's liberating transformation and a critique of a society shaped by white patriarchal Christianity and culture. With her powerful personal story, womanist ideology, and research, she invites readers to consider the truth that God is not white nor male, and offers a new path for connecting with the divine and honoring the sacredness of all Black people.
