<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The soul stories in this revision take on a cross-generational orientation with emphasis on linking stories of family identities, events, relationships, and story plot with Bible stories and exemplary Christian faith stories found in the African Diaspora. Dr. Wimberly builds on the deepening awareness of the continued fragmentation of Black family life. There is a disconnect between generations on one hand; yet, on the other hand, a profound yearning of Black people for a common family history. Dr. Wimberly's goal is to enliven the values associated with the image of "village" in order to empower and equip African Americans today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this revision of Soul Stories, Dr. Wimberly moves even more in the direction of Christian Education with African American families. Soul stories link persons' everyday life with the Christian Scriptures. The soul stories in this revised volume take on a cross-generational orientation with emphasis on linking stories of family identities, events, relationships, and story plot with Bible stories and exemplary Christian faith stories found in the African Diaspora. This orientation builds on an awareness of the continued fragmentation of Black family life and the disconnect between generations on one hand, yet, on the other hand, the profound yearning of Black people for a common family history. The goal of Dr. Wimberly's model is to enliven the values associated with the image of village in order to empower and equip African Americans today.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Anne Streaty Wimberly proposes a method for educating Christians-the story-linking process. In Soul Stories: African American Christian Education she applies it specifically to the life experiences, history, and evolving liberation of African American Christians who are encouraged to see the connection between biblical stories, their own personal stories, and the stories of important African Americans in history. Christian education in African American contexts is strengthened by reclaiming the story-linking method that emerged naturally in the African American heritage.
