Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) July 11, 2016 -- Richelle B. White, Ph.D.’s new book, Repertory with Roots - Black Youth, Black History, Black Culture, Black Music and the Bible, ($18.49, paperback, 9781498476645) is a curriculum guide designed with Black youth in mind. It offers a holistic curricular framework that helps Black youth grow in wisdom and Christian discipleship. Each teaching/learning session in the 5-lesson curriculum is infused with elements from Black history, culture, music and the Bible. Its pedagogical practice encompasses critical thinking, creative exploration, collaborative learning and fun. It promotes seeing, reaching, hearing an engaging youth in a manner that fosters their identity formation as unashamedly Black, unapologetically Christian youth. This book is well written, well researched and grounded in experience – a significant contribution to the field of African American Christian education in America.
