PREACHING LIBERATION
This Juneteenth, discover how preaching can be a force for freedom, justice, and transformation. In Preaching Liberation, Dr. James Henry Harris highlights the liberating power of the Black church's preaching tradition and its role in shaping both faith and society.
BLACK SUFFERING: SILENT PAIN, HIDDEN HOPE
A perspective on black suffering straight from a pastor who knows firsthand.
This book confronts the painful realities of racial injustice through history, faith, and lived experience. Drawing from the deaths of George Floyd, the impact of COVID-19, and the legacies of figures like Nat Turner, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Job, James Henry Harris delivers a powerful blend of memoir, theology, history, and social critique that exposes the normalization of Black suffering while calling for hope, healing, and change.
N: MY ENCOUNTER WITH RACISM AND THE FORBIDDEN WORD IN AN AMERICAN CLASSIC
This book is a gripping and deeply personal confrontation with racism in America. Through the painful experience of being the only Black student in a classroom reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, James Henry Harris exposes the lasting harm of racial slurs, the deep wounds of prejudice and injustice, and the emotional burden carried by Black Americans - while boldly affirming dignity, truth, and identity in the face of oppression.
