ABOUT THE BOOK
Through the research and reflections of author Jasmine L. Holmes, you will be inspired by what each of these exceptional women can teach us about the intersections of faith and education, birth, privilege, opportunity, and so much more.
Carved in Ebony will take you past the predominantly white, male contributions that seemingly dominate history books and church history to discover how Black women have been some of the main figures in defining the landscape of American history and faith.
LEARN ABOUT BLACK WOMEN WHO SERVED GOD IN EXTRAORDINARY WAYS
THIS BOOK IS AN UNAPOLOGETIC REJOICING IN THE FACT THAT GOD CHOSE TO MAKE EACH WOMAN PROFILED IN THIS BOOK BOTH BLACK AND FEMALE FOR HIS GLORY. AND IT WAS GOOD.

Jamie IveyBESTSELLING AUTHOR AND HOST OF THE HAPPY HOUR WITH JAMIE IVEY PODCAST
“Books are meant to shape us. While reading Carved in Ebony, I imagined that I was joining Jasmine Holmes on a journey looking at old truths with fresh eyes. After I was done, I realized that Jasmine wasn’t just using her pen to tell a story. She was using it as a chisel. My faith and confidence in the goodness of God has been refined and polished as a result of seeing God’s faithfulness in the lives of these women. I can’t wait to witness the other statues she sculpts when other people get their hands on this book.”
John OnwuchekwaPASTOR OF CORNERSTONE CHURCH AND CO-FOUNDER OF PORTRAIT COFFEE
“Carved in Ebony, like its author, is courageous, compassionate, and clear. In considering the lives and faith of the women profiled here, we can learn how we as Christians can serve Christ and love the world for which he died and lives again.”
Russell MoorePUBLIC THEOLOGIAN AT CHRISTIANITY TODAY AND DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIANITY TODAY’S PUBLIC THEOLOGY PROJECT
