Carved in Ebony: Lessons from the Black Women Who Shape Us | Jasmine L. Holmes

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

A look at the inspirational lives of ten Black women of faith Do the names Elizabeth Freeman, Nannie Helen Burroughs, or Charlotte Forten Grimk� ring any bells? Have you ever heard of Sarah Mapps Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, or Maria Fearing? What about Sara Griffith Stanley, Amanda Berry Smith, Lucy Craft Laney, and Maria Stewart? While these names may not be familiar to you, these women lived faithful and influential lives in a world that was filled with injustice. They worked to change laws, built schools, spoke to thousands, and shared the Gospel all around the world. And while history books may have forgotten them, their stories can teach us so much about how we can live today. Praise for Carved in Ebony "What a gift this book . . . will be to you! Jasmine has a way of teaching you a history lesson you never knew you needed, while pointing you to a God who deeply cares for his children."--JAMIE IVEY, bestselling author and host of The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey podcast

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Holmes is currently one of the best historical resources on Instagram-I have learned so much from her posts- &I was so excited to read this book bringing to light ten Black women who were foundational to the Christian faith.
The majority of these names were brand new to me,& hearing how much they contributed just reinforces the certainty that we are standing on the shoulders of many other Black women history hasn‘t remembered.

Reading this book made me more aware and increased my empathy to those impacted by slavery and racism. These women lived lives that were filled with advocating for others. Each woman profiled in this book was a true hero. Their stories are filled with examples of strength and courage. They earned their places in history and most certainly, deserve to be remembered. Be enlightened, be encouraged…read this book.
