Just Living: Meditations for Engaging our Life and Times is a devotional resource for an intergenerational, racially and ethnically diverse, politically and socially conscious lay readership for whom biblical scholarship and cultural criticism written in journalistic prose is highly valued.

Just Living Volume 1 provides devotional readers thirteen meditations divided into three sections: (1) Distressing the Comfortable, (2) End of the White Throne, and (3) The Life-Giving of a Debt-Canceling God. Each meditation concludes with a prayer and personal reflective questions. The book may be used for daily personal meditation, journaling, Bible discussion groups, and one-on-one discussion with religiously disaffected persons.

About Kenyatta R. Gilbert

The Rev. Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert — professor of homiletics at Howard University School of Divinity—is a nationally recognized expert on African American preaching. After graduating from Baylor University with a bachelor’s degree in political science in 1996, Gilbert enrolled in Princeton Theological Seminary, where he earned his M.Div. and Ph.D. in practical theology (homiletics). As an ordained Baptist minister, he served congregations in Texas, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Kenya before landing at Howard University in 2006. A prolific writer and oft-featured expert on Black preaching, civil rights, and social justice, Gilbert has authored countless sermons and classroom lectures, as well as four books: Exodus Preaching: Crafting Sermons about Justice and Hope; A Pursued Justice: Black Preaching from the Great Migration to Civil Rights; The Journey and Promise of African American Preaching; and Just Living: Meditations for Engaging our Life and Times. His writing has also been featured by such outlets as PBS NewsHour, Sojourners, Word & Way, and The Conversation.

In 2011, Dr. Gilbert launched The Preaching Project, a ministry aimed at equipping ministers to better serve African American churches and communities. Dr. Gilbert is director of the Equipping the Saints: Black Congregations Online Resource Center at Howard University; General Editor of the forthcoming Preaching, Theology, and Culture book series (Fortress Press); member of the editorial board of Homiletic, a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Academy of Homiletics; Sandy Spring Friends School Board of Trustees, and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. In 2022, Dr. Gilbert was inducted into the Martin Luther King Jr. International Collegium of Scholars at Morehouse College. Dr. Gilbert is married to Dr. Allison Blow Gilbert, a pediatrician.  The Gilberts have three daughters: Olivia, Ella, and Ava.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to make think!

This book surprised me by being oxymoronic in its presentation. It smoothly draws the reader in by providing an apparently superficial observation, only to surprise by revealing a profound point for contemplation.

I will be referring to this book regularly.

This devotional challenged me, and I plan to use it to lead a group Bible study. It is a timely look into biblical justice at a time when our world is thirsting for justice.
