Discover how to unfold in every sermon the good news that brings healing, instead of more hurt, to black women. Flake offers samples from her own ministry, sermons that explore the lives of misunderstood women from the Bible, including: € The wives of Job and Lot € The daughters of Zelophehad € Hagar, the Egyptian € Leah, the unloved € The poor widow € And the "woman with the issue of blood"
