After reading the first page of your book, I knew you had authored a groundbreaking
product. FINDING SOUL BROTHERS is masterfully written and laced with Biblical references
to support your positions...To be honest, I do not fully agree with one or two major
premises you put forth. Still, I concur with many of your positions, most importantly, the
placement of God as the head of our lives...I see nothing that separates what you've
produced from a number of New York Times bestsellers; your effort is as thought provoking
and engaging as anything that is out there...While your work is controversial, it is
certain to generate considerable conversation -- and save souls in the process! Given the
climate of the country at this time, I'm sure you already know that the timing is perfect
for what you have produced.

Pamela, just a short note to let you know that I finished reading your book. Actually,
once I started reading, I could hardly put it down. Great insight and very timely as we
ponder the Democratic Party nomination: A Black Man or a (White) Female! I see
"racialism" all over this Democratic race for the White House and wonder just
where we will end up. I am thrilled at the possibility of a Black Man or a Female becoming
our next Commander-in-Chief......I just pray that the guy or gal best equipped to do the
job, gets the job! Thank you for daring to step out on faith to write such a book to
challenge our senses. I can't wait to pass it around to my friends and Pastor to read to
hear their comments. Congratulations on a job well done,

I've just finished reading your book and conclude it could not have come at a better
time as now. God had placed some the ideas you expressed in my mine about fifteen years
ago, but did not have the courage to write it down on paper. Instead, I would discuss them
with my close family in which they agreed [most are born again], but when family reunions
came about, it lead to vehement arguments. I'm convinced that racialism will keep many
from entering heaven based on a sermon I heard from Tony Evans out of Dallas, called
"The Carnal Christian". God dealt with me on the matter of racism . . . He said
to me, "what does My Word say about heaven? Didn't it say that heaven will be
occupied with representers from every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue?" He also
interjected that," the word race does not appear in His Word, it is a manmade term,
and if you can't live in love [agape] on this earth, I could not live in heaven with Him.
How can you say you love me whom you have not seen and hate your brother whom you see
every day?"

It is a delight to see someone write on such a sensitive but important
subject. As Christians, I often tell citizens in the predominantly black communities that
we may share certain experiences, but my true brothers and sisters are those who have
submitted their lives to Christ. I can identify with particular experiences but one does
not have special privileges just because they are of similar pigmentation. I was once an
assistant pastor at a small church in upstate New York. The pastor and his congregants
held a deep derision towards whites. I had to inform them that the Lord will not honor
their worship if such a mindset did not change. On the other hand I had to teach my
current Sunday school class (which consisted of virtually all white adults) that they must
challenge their perceived appearance of the Savior to make sure they are not sending
worship to someone because they may look alike. God challenges all of our perceptions
because people attempt to make up their own Savior (black, white, Chinese, etc.). It is my
opinion that the Enemy (Satan) has so infiltrated the church with this pigmentation
division that we even have American blacks who believe that whites do not have the Holy
Spirit due to their differences in worship. At this time, I am one of the most disliked
preachers when it comes to the black community because of my views of personal
responsibility and the brotherhood of all believers. My relationship with Christ teaches
me to preach the Gospel -----not programs in black or white. It is wonderful to know that
I am not alone. You have a very glorious mind that I am highly impressed with. As
believers in Christ, we have to have the mind of Him. Comment by Rev. Tommy Davis, DDCS |

2008 Presidential Campaign and Christians Who Are Also African Americans
Pamela G. Wilson a young African American author and formal journalist about her
book that is drawing attention: Finding Soul Brothers: Dismantling Black Christian
Racialism. She is examining whether Black Christians will vote along racial lines; as has
been a long tradition or vote their moral compass based on the bible
Christians are
really picky about party affiliation. I found that out the hard way not too long
ago. http://wordpress.com/tag/finding-soul-brothers-dismantling-black-christian-racialism/
