Digital Logos Edition
Hear the voices of women of color on the most important subject in any age—the word of God.
This inspiring collection of devotions is by a diverse group of women of color—African-American, Hispanic, Caribbean, and Asian women. Contributors include Kristie Anyabwile, Jackie Hill-Perry, Trillia Newbell, Elicia Horton, Christina Edmondson, Blair Linne, Bev Chao Berrus and more.
It is a faithful exposition of Psalm 119 and incorporates each contributor’s cultural expression both within the teaching and as they bring the word of God to bear on their lives.
You will be thrilled and encouraged by hearing God speak through his word as it is expounded by these faithful women teachers, and you will long for more.
His Testimonies, My Heritage is an edifying book. What the essayists in this collection have in common are two things: they are all women of color, and they all write out of deep and moving experience of joyfully coming under the authority of holy Scripture.

If the only thing we have in common between us is the gospel, that is enough. If the word of God is the only heritage we share, that is sufficient. How liberating is that truth! This is what this book is about. I loved the way these precious women, from different nations and backgrounds, are faithfully and beautifully lifting up what will last and unite us forever: the word of God.

With meticulous attention to detail, God created a diverse human race. He took into account a vast array of variables to include race, gender, and culture. These differences are not to be ignored or dismissed when reading Scripture; they are to be acknowledged and celebrated. This book provides a lens through which we can view the experiences of Christian women of color as they engage with God. It beautifully captures and elevates narratives that are desperately needed for women of color and the entire body of Christ.
—Kia Stephens, Founder, The Father Swap Blog
There’s something indescribably beautiful about Bible study done together in community. This book is an example of that. These women, some of the brightest Christian women of today, bless us with a book filled with insight, reflection, and conversation. This book will help you read your Bible better, and love our God more wholeheartedly.
