People come to church seeking comfort, encouragement, empowerment, and liberation. Preachers are under a divine imperative to provide a word that will minister all those things - to all people and especially to the least of these. Author and pastor Elaine Flake seizes that imperative and crafts a womanist theology and praxis of preaching to the population most overlooked an overwhelmed in our pews: wounded women - those who are wounded by virtue of their gender and more particularly black women who are also wounded by virtue of their race.
