Synopsis

*Advance Praise & Reviews*
“Dr. Jean-Charles has breathed new, magnificent, divine feminine ruah into the ministry of one of the Christian faith’s most examined and celebrated men. With the eye of an academic and the heart of a believer, she invites a fresh and holistic approach to Dr. King, so that the reader can receive his gifts anew while worshiping God, not Dr. King. She walks us down a fine line and brings us to the other side, ready to listen afresh to this prophet in our time. What a gift!"―Kaji Dousa, Senior Pastor, Park Avenue Christian Church, NYC
