ABOUT THE BOOK

As God-conscious families, we all struggle to maintain a vibrant faith that will lead to strength and happiness in the midst of declining social values and daily challenges. Marital commitment, child rearing, financial stewardship and family harmony are problems that can become intensely magnified, draining our joy and ability to sufficiently thrive.

Overflowing with Biblical teaching, practical examples and real encouragement, Soul Food and Living Water provides the spiritual nourishment you and your family needs. Written in culturally sensitive language, reflecting the rich heritage and strong faith of African Americans, Soul Food and Living Water refreshes and equips families for today’s challenges.

Soul Food and Living Water is a personal invitation to come and dine at the Lord’s table, to be comforted in His presence and to feast upon His Words. So eat heartily and drink deeply.

BOOK REVIEW 

Soul Food and Living Water gets right to the heart of the matter:  people are dying for lack of spiritual nourishment.  Oh, it's not that there are more than enough opportunities to get nourished, what with thousands of churches, millions of books, an increasing number of television and Internet options to hear/watch the Word of God being preached.  But as the authors point out, that's just "churchin'", which is very different than actually investing time in one's spiritual development and the establishment of a steady and sturdy spiritual foundation in the home.

The Powells address everything from the need to slow down and make time for God to intimacy within marriage and helping hip-hop lovin' teens to get to know for who He really is in a world that is bombarding them with mixed messages.  Although the book is targeted toward African-Americans, all can take away important lessons and thoughts to ponder from this written admonishment to do better in our professed relationship with Christ by implementing the practical tips that are packed within its covers.   Soul Food and Living Water is not a quick read, but it's a necessary one.
