Black Author Books

Blair Linne's personal story of growing up without a father at home reflects the experiences of millions. She weaves her personal story with thoughtful theological reflection, inviting readers to learn from God what "father" really means and to trust him, even if they feel their earthly father has let them down. A chapter by Blair's husband, the Christian hip-hop artist Shai, on his own story of fatherlessness and faith is also included.

This book will help readers to shift their eyes from what they do not have in their earthly fathers (who, whether present or absent, loving or the opposite, can never be perfect) to what they do have in their eternal Father, who will never disappoint, reject, or abandon them.

This reflective and empowering coloring book for adults offers a celebration of Black voices, culture, and history, along with inspiration to stand boldly against injustice. Rise Up invites you to draw strength, courage, and hope from a variety of inspiring quotes, including historical and contemporary Black voices, the Bible, and hymns. Throughout the book you'll color beautifully designed illustrations that celebrate Black culture and experiences, all drawn by talented Black artists.
