The Strength of a Godly Woman

The Strength of a Godly Woman
by Tyora Moody

March is Women’s History Month. This monthly celebration began in 1978, when the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women initiated a “Women’s History Week” celebration. Later, in 1987, the National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress to expand the national celebration to the entire month of March.

Often during this month, women are honored for being the first to achieve some feat or for their incredible strength to beat the odds. Let’s take a brief survey through Jesus’ earthly ministry, and meet godly women who experienced the “Good News” firsthand. I think this time of reflection will give you something to marvel whether you are a man or a woman.

Book Review | The Ex-Files

The Ex-Files by Victoria Christopher Murray
BOOK REVIEWER: Tyora Moody

About two to three years ago, Victoria Christopher Murray released a book titled Grown Folks Business. This novel was perfectly time around the controversy of “down-low” men in the African-American community. The protagonist from Grown Folks Business, Sheridan Hart, returns in the book, The Ex-Files.

The breakup of her 17-year-old marriage is still painful and while Sheridan is in denial, she still has feelings for her bisexual ex-husband.
