Sharei Green, Beckah Selnick God's Holy Darkness

Annotation

In Gods Holy Darkness, Sharei Green and Beckah Selnick deconstruct anti-Blackness in Christian theology by celebrating instances in the story of Gods people when darkness, blackness, and night are beautiful, good, and holy. From the darkness at the beginning of creation to the blackness of the sky on the day when Christs birth was announced to the shepherds, children learn that blackness is something to celebrate as an important element of the life of faith. Lush and vibrant illustrations by artist Nikki Faison underscore the mystery and beauty of these wondrous acts of Gods holy darkness.Perfect for reading and anti-racist reflection in worship, as an affirmation and celebration with children, and at home with caregivers, Gods Holy Darkness is a gift to cherish.
