Practical Virtues
by
Reverend Floyd
H. Flake and Reverend M. Elaine McCollins Flake
Readings,
Sermons, Prayers, and Hymns for the African American Family.
As Pastors of one of New York City's largest
churches, Reverend Floyd Flake and his wife, Reverend M. Elaine McCollins Flake,
are frequently sought after by those in need of guidance. Throughout their
ministry, the Flakes have drawn from a distinguished array of stories, letters,
hymns, narratives, and poems from James Baldwin and Maya Angelou to Arthur Ashe
and Colin Powell to inspire families to live ethically in an often unethical
world. Now, with Practical Virtues, they've gathered their favorites into a
single, indispensable collection, paired with spiritual exercises for the soul.
