Really Be of Good Cheer: I Have Overcome the World S Williams

Few or no books are written on the way certain women of color seem to simply disappear from one of America's oldest church organizations.



Really Be of Good Cheer: I Have Overcome the World succinctly uncovers the experiences of a female pastor's triumph over trivialization and sexual harassment within the African Methodist Episcopal Zion denomination.



The pastor's story depicts her vindication at the trial of a presiding elder from the West Alabama conference in 2010. After graduating from seminary, she received relentless propositions and opposition from several leaders in the Greensboro/Demopolis district.



Due to her continued unwillingness to enlist sexual misconduct in exchange for a pastoral church appointment, in 2015, she was forcibly ejected from a church meeting.



Really Be of Good Cheer: I Have Overcome the World also includes old and new testaments scriptures concerning the infallibility of God's promises that are paramount to overcoming trials and tribulations in the world today.
