I love God more now that I know these ladies in this book, and I suspect you will as well!”

With unapologetic conviction and vulnerable eloquence, Jasmine shows how their faith and steadfast purposefulness indelibly shaped our nation and world. You will be both inspired and challenged to continue the legacy these women began.”

“Jasmine Holmes dusts off the lives of ten Black women in history, placing their contributions to the world and the Church squarely in our current climate and circumstances. I was convicted, comforted, and challenged by Jasmine’s strong, wise, and informed voice. Carved in Ebonyis a treasure that belongs on every shelf of American history.”

“Carved in Ebony, like its author, is courageous, compassionate, and clear. In considering the lives and faith of the women profiled here, we can learn how we as Christians can serve Christ and love the world for which he died and lives again.”
