Really Be of Good Cheer: I Have Overcome the World

By S. Williams

Few or no books are written on the way certain women of color seem to simply disappear from one of America’s oldest church organizations.

Really Be of Good Cheer: I Have Overcome the World succinctly uncovers the experiences of a female pastor’s triumph over trivialization and sexual harassment within the African Methodist Episcopal Zion denomination.

The pastor’s story depicts her vindication at the trial of a presiding elder from the West Alabama conference in 2010. After graduating from seminary, she received relentless propositions and opposition from several leaders in the Greensboro/Demopolis district.

Due to her continued unwillingness to enlist sexual misconduct in exchange for a pastoral church appointment, in 2015, she was forcibly ejected from a church meeting.

Really Be of Good Cheer: I Have Overcome the World also includes old and new testaments scriptures concerning the infallibility of God’s promises that are paramount to overcoming trials and tribulations in the world today.
