Young “Sassy” has always been proud to be AME, a member of her African Methodist Episcopal church, but why? Sassy enjoys learning during the Children’s Church group, but that new boy knows more about AME than she does! With the help of her grandmother, “Big Momma,” she discovers the real story behind the founding of AME. Along the way, she and her friends and her brother, Franklin, deal with bullying, kindness, death, grief, pride, forgiveness, and the very ideas of fairness and including others. They also confront the harsh reality of prejudice and hatred when a gunman attacks the Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston. In Sassy Discovers the AME Church, one little girl embraces the idea of belonging to something so important, and of proudly sharing her faith with everyone she loves.

We all live in a fallen world. In the words of my grandmother, “IF IT AIN’T ONE THING, IT IS ANOTHER.” We are confronted with problems, pain, and persecution. We are also confronted with burdens and brokenness. These challenges sometimes cause us to feel down, disgusted, disenfranchised, and even depressed. This word is written to encourage people to look up and be a positive people. It is intended to encourage people to focus on the positive and not the negative. In the words of our forefathers, “Behind every dark cloud, the sun is still shining.” The people of God are a victorious people. We walk in victory. This collection of sermons is designed to help us to go THROUGH the not-so-good times to get to the good times. We go “through the valley and the shadow of death.” It is my hope and prayer that this collection will help you to build your faith and remind you of who we are. We are conquers!!! We walk in VICTORY!
