Last morning in Ja. One of the great subtexts of my time here has been the stories of faith & fortitude of my parents. Listening to their stories reminded me of the research I did to write 'Faith, Stories and the Experience of Black Elders...' (details in the link below). That book has been in my mind for several days now.
So imagine my joy when a former student emailed me to say that a group of people at her church are studying the book as part of their training to be preachers & could I suggest ways in which she could get hold of cheaper 2nd hand copies. The importance of narrative as a means of establishing identity and conferring meaning can never be over exaggerated. This book is dedicated to Lucille & Noel Reddie & I'm proud to be their son!
