Black women are the single most religious demographic in the
United States, yet they are among the poorest, least educated, and
least healthy groups in the nation. Drawing on the author's own
past experience as an evangelical minister and her present work as
a secular counselor and researcher, The Ebony Exodus
Project makes a direct connection between the church and
the plight of black women. Through interviews with African American
women who have left the church, the author reveals the shame and
suffering often caused by the church—and the resulting happiness,
freedom, and sense of purpose these women have felt upon walking
away from it. This book calls on other black women to honestly
reflect on their relationship with religion and challenges them to
consider that perhaps the answers to their problems rest not inside
a church, but in themselves.
