Take up and read! -- Beth Allison Barr, James Vardaman professor of history at Baylor University, and author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood As the founder and CEO of the Global Black Women's Chamber of Commerce and a third generation Black business owner, I was so excited to see the examples of biblical generational wealth builders that Joyce Dinkins lays out. From the daughters of Zelophehad to the queen of Sheba, we are reminded that there has always been wealth in the hands of women. As I sat at the feet of my mother and her mother learning business, I sat at the feet of these biblical heroes and renewed my learning. When women connect our wealth and femininity, and wrap it in Divinity, we have true power. -- Ambassador Suzan Johnson Cook, CEO of GBWCC, the Chamber of Commerce connecting Black women business owners worldwide I am genuinely excited to recommend Woman to Woman: African American Voices on Faith, Resilience and Joy to every woman out there.

These authors represent a kaleidoscope of different life situations, but a common theme runs through them all. These are women, to a one, who have not only bravely navigated their own God-stories, but who are stretching an arm out to help the rest of us navigate ours. Thank you! -- Christy Hurst, Bible study teacher, Nacogdoches, Texas Woman to Woman is a collection of personal stories that touched the core of my being. The value of the writers’ willingness to share a portion of their lives in order to help others is immeasurable. I highly recommend this book for women who find themselves in a season of life that is unfamiliar and in need of wisdom to navigate life’s challenges. -- Margaree King Mitchell, author, winner of Living the Dream Award Woman to Woman: African American Voices on Faith, Resilience, and Joy is a dynamic read. The voices of these multifaceted women who have navigated grief, joy, body-image, and mental health stigmas are not only relatable, but a breath of fresh air. As someone in their mid-twenties I am grateful to read taboo topics discussed openly, especially in the realm of religion. I felt seen and a sense of comradery in knowing other women have endured and pushed through similar situations I have faced. -- Mikayla Joy Oberlto
