Saving Us: Mental Health, Ministry and the African American Church

Saving Us is a rare and remarkable work, one that carries both the intellectual rigor of a trained researcher and the tender urgency of a clinician deeply rooted in the community the author seeks to heal. This book is timely, culturally rich, and spiritually grounded, addressing one of the most underexplored yet critical intersections in American religious and public health life: mental wellness within the African American church. From the opening pages, the reader is drawn into a world where suffering has long been sanctified into silence, and where the author invites with both scholarly authority and pastoral compassion: a new way forward.
