Winner of the 2013 Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize presented by the American Society of Church History Mississippi Praying examines the faith communities at ground-zero of the racial revolution that rocked America. This religious history of white Mississippians in the civil rights era shows how Mississippians’ intense religious commitments played critical, rather than incidental, roles in their response to the movement for black equality. During the civil rights movement and since, it has perplexed many Americans that unabashedly Christian Mississippi could also unapologetically oppress its black population. Yet, as Carolyn Renée Dupont richly details, white southerners’ evangelical religion gave them no conceptual tools for understanding segregation as a moral evil, and many believed that God had ordained the racial hierarchy. Challenging previous scholarship that depicts southern religious support for segregation as weak, Dupont shows how people of faith in Mississippi rejected the religious argument for black equality and actively supported the effort to thwart the civil rights movement. At the same time, faith motivated a small number of white Mississippians to challenge the methods and tactics of do-or-die segregationists. Racial turmoil profoundly destabilized Mississippi’s religious communities and turned them into battlegrounds over the issue of black equality. Though Mississippi’s evangelicals lost the battle to preserve segregation, they won important struggles to preserve the theology that had sustained the racial hierarchy. Ultimately, this history sheds light on the eventual rise of the religious right by elaborating the connections between the pre- and post-civil rights South.

Mississippi Life, Serious Growing Pains... This is a true story about: my mom, my dad, my brother, my sisters and I. Growing up in Mississippi in the 50's and 60's wasn't an easy life, to live in Mississippi and to be poor was enough, but to live there with a ton of family problems as time passed, wasn't any fun. This book describes the tears I cried, watching the struggle of my family and witnessing all of the things my mom endowed, while growing up. At an early age, I watched God work out a lot of things for us down in Mississippi; I didn't understand it until later in life. Trying to tell this story, I scribbled these words down on scratch paper for many years. I thank God, It has finally happened! Now, being a Pastor and having my background, I see how God has equipped me for the needs of other in this present time. This book shows: How shedding tears can make one strong, if they will hold on, the sadness you face watching your siblings living and seeing things; not even grown-ups should experience. I wrote this book with much prayer. I pray that God gives hope to those who has none. I'm praying and hoping, this book will show you, the God back down in Mississippi in the 50's and 60's is still alive and is still the same God today.

Peter Slade examines Mission Mississippi's model of racial reconciliation (which stresses one-on-one, individual friendships among religious people of different races) and considers whether it can effectively address the issue of social justice. Slade argues that Mission Mississippi's goal of "changing Mississippi one relationship at a time" is both a pragmatic strategy and a theological statement of hope for social and economic change in Mississippi.
