Edith Kimbrough, the first African American Baptist woman ordained in Nashville, has written a wonderful book. She begins by telling us her life story. Dr. Kimbrough fought for freedom not only in a racist educational system, but also in churches often slow to welcome women to ministry. Her story, modestly told, is a testimony to God’s grace as well as her own remarkable faith. Dr. Kimbrough follows her story with Fifty-two “Sermon Briefs,” messages that address us powerfully and personally. This book by a gracious, triumphant woman, as well as a true “Trailblazer,” is a gift for all of us to read and treasure.

This clergywoman details a vivid and engaging story that unveils her voice as a trailblazer among women in ministry. Dr. Kimbrough shares the struggles and joys of the journey and offers help and hope to those who are engaged in the “preaching ministry.” This is a must read for clergywomen and advisable for all clergy.
–REV. DR. THELMA CHAMBERS – YOUNG, Vice President, National Council of Churches of Christ
