“Fannie Lou Hamer’s story needs to be told and I can think of no one better than K. A. Ellis to tell it. In this beautiful biography, we see how the gospel compelled this remarkable woman to share the good news of Jesus, pray for her enemies, and combat the injustice around her. May her story inspire us to do the same!” -- Courtney Doctor (Coordinator of Women's Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition; Visiting Instructor, Covenant Theological Seminary)
“As a father of three, I know it’s important to provide children with clear examples of how Christian convictions drive believers toward redemptive work. K.A. Ellis beautifully illustrates how a deep faith in Christ inspired Hamer’s vision, courage, and perseverance.” -- Justin E. Giboney (President, the AND Campaign)
“You never know what’s in a person till they are bumped and you see what spills out. Fannie Lou got bumped hard and often. What spilled out was a song of praise for God, courage to expose injustice and rescue the weak, practical help for her neighbors, and grace for even people who hurt her. Let’s follow Fannie Lou.” -- John Ensor (President of PassionLife)
“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! I have spoken about Fannie Lou Hamer in speeches, written about her, and admired her for years. The fact that another generation will have the opportunity to learn about this great woman makes my heart happy!” -- Kay James (Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia; President of the Heritage Foundation (2017-2021))
