What People Are Saying


“This book, MAN OF GOD Black Manhood in concert with Biblical Manhood, is a much needed book to not just read, but to apply. Such a blessing it is.”

Eddie Turner Jr.


“By recognizing that black manhood and biblical manhood are simpatico, Pastor Melvin Hargrove and his book are the perfect personification of Daniel 11:32.”

“This book acknowledges the Creator and His creation which includes black manhood within the African-American culture.”

Pastor Rachel Woods


“This book is a dynamic read that addresses the real contrasting issue of black men, their faith and the church. This book establishes the identity of true manhood from a biblical perspective, cutting through racial superiority complexes to ask a poignant question: WHO WILL YOU WORSHIP?

True men of God make worship their top priority; through an intimate relationship with God, “marriages” will be strengthened & “Fathers” are restored. This is an awesome tool in the hands of any reader.” Apostle RL Woods
