This article highlights faith-based books authored by Black writers and published by Black presses, addressing the significant lack of diversity in religious publishing where only about 16% of religious titles come from Black creators. The piece emphasizes how the predominantly white publishing infrastructure, with roughly 72% white professionals, has historically limited which faith stories receive attention and support. To counter this narrow representation, the author recommends several titles ranging from children's books to adult devotionals that incorporate Black experiences and theological perspectives. These recommended works cover themes including daily devotion, overcoming fear through faith, children's self-worth, and family prayer, offering readers more inclusive spiritual perspectives for the holiday season.
