Rhetoric Race and Religion
Rev. Dr. Eugene Gibson, Senior Pastor at the Olivet Fellowship Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, has published his first book, Courage Under Fire. The book is a collection of inspiring messages that will help those in married and single relationships guard the romantic flame against the fiery issues of life. Focusing on God’s power of love and healing, this collection of sermons will help people endure and overcome life’s toughest challenges. When people speak about keeping the flame of a couple’s relationship lit, hardly ever do they discuss the fires of life. No one mentions the fact that the flames of hurt, pain, heartbreak, addiction, pornography, infidelity, baby mama drama, illness, and the like are smoldering close by.
