Author: Reverend Dr. Jo Ann Browning

Relationship books top the bestsellers charts. Most are directed at women, the chief negotiators of relationships of every kind. Our Savior, Our Sisters, Ourselves (Journey of Faith) by Reverend Dr. Jo Ann Browning is one such book that addresses the delicate issues in this area.

Reverend Dr. Jo Ann Browning, co-pastor of Ebenezer AME Church in Maryland, understands and commiserates with women who need healing in their relationships, whether it’s with husbands, family or other women. Our Savior, Our Sisters, Ourselves offers practical solutions from a biblical perspective.

The book drives directly to the heart of the matter, straight to those issues that prohibit women from experiencing and benefiting from healthy relationships across the spectrum. Moreover, it posits that the healing of relationships begins with the healing of the woman.

Our Savior, Our Sisters, Ourselves explores deeply-rooted problems such as emotional baggage and spiritual immaturity – hindrances in relationships in general but especially among women. Dr. Browning applies the Word of God as a healing balm and it is believed that transformation will take place. She asserts that there is a great power in women mentoring women; older women showing younger women The Way, and in women supporting one another thru the good, bad and ugly. She makes one excellent point: We need one another.

Our Savior, Our Sisters, Ourselvesis written conversationally; the warmth of Dr. Browning’s words jumps off of each page. Though her words are warm and gentle, they are also potent and convicting.

The power of women’s relationships is divine. It is a power filling our churches and ministries; and it is a power that can heal our homes and communities. Our Savior, Our Sisters, Ourselves is a great bible study tool and aid in women’s ministry. Each chapter contains a reflective prayer and space for journaling actions to support the teachings.
