"African American woman."

The phrase conjures up a variety of images: Sassy career women. Wise church women. Strong grandmothers. Welfare mothers.

But how about "chosen vessels"? Or "keys to change"? Perhaps we need some new images.

Women of color have historically been on the bottom of the economic and social ladder. But the paradox of the kingdom of God is that being on the bottom is a plus. God often chooses the rejected and despised to confound the wise and mighty (1 Corinthians 1:27-29). By examining our spiritual history and God-ordained destiny, Rebecca Florence Osaigbovo helps us turn the tide of evil in our own lives and the lives of our families, cities and nations.

We are chosen vessels.

Here is the help we need to find--and live--our significance in the eyes of God.

REVIEWS

"Rebecca Osaigbovo has broken the long silence of African American women. . . . In Chosen Vessels we hear a voice from the inside. . . . In this book Rebecca provides a road other women can follow in helping to restore the black family to a biblical foundation."

From the Foreword by Dr. John M. Perkins

"I believe this book will be a tremendous blessing and source of inspiration for all who read it."

Dr. Myles Munroe, author of Understanding the Purpose and Power of Women

"Chosen Vessels gripped my heart like no other book. Rebecca Osaigbovo has tackled a topic most of us like to overlook, disregard or make invisible. . . . This book brings women face to face with commonsense, biblical answers for breaking free from cultural, racial and religious bondage. While Chosen Vessels is targeted to women of color, every Christian woman should read this book. Rebecca challenges all of us to embrace the fact that we are a chosen vessel so we can be free to become the woman God wants us to be."

Carol Kent, speaker and author of Becoming a Woman of Influence (NavPress)
