Moore $16.00 ISBN: 0-9658299-2-8 _____________________________ There is a book causing quite a stir in African American congregations across the country, especially among its preachers. N. Moore's, "Pulpit Confessions: Exposing The Black Church," questions the moral character of the African American Church in the wake of recent highly publicized scandals. "The tables have been turned," writes Moore. "The spotlight is not on the unrighteous sinners outside the church, but the self-righteous transgressors inside it." Moore, a former preacher and pastor, speaks candidly about his and other ministers' odysseys from sincere well-intentioned prodigies to cynical, sinful, showmen. He describes in detail the often-profane process whereby one obtains credentials to minister in the black church. Moore offers insight into what he considers rampant emotionalism during the African American worship experience. "Simply because the preacher sounds good and can make you feel good does not always mean that he is operating under an anointing from the Holy Ghost." The author also challenges many preachers' sermonic integrity by detailing what he considers blatant showmanship and plagiarism. Moore also reveals the thoughts and motivations of both ministers and congregations whose power struggles often turn violent. "Older members who have been there since the first brick was laid will not surrender power without a fight, " he writes. "And fight they will . . . sometimes to the death." The African American church has recently been rocked by scandal at its highest levels. Moore describes how ministers struggle with their public and private selves, which often leads to career ending embarrassment. According to Moore, though, the preachers should not always bear all of the blame. "Many women in the church make it extremely difficult for ministers to live righteous lives," he writes. The author contends that the black church is not Y2K compliant. He challenges it to get its house in order. "Reverend, what kind of church are you going to present to Jesus," he asks. "Will he even want it? Would you?" ***************************************************** Brothers Beware: Games Black Women Play by A.
