Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The Spiritual Lives of Young African Americans examines the role of spirituality in adolescent development and the ways that youth negotiate their world, and offers a vision of life for young people who are too often surrounded by death.
MoreLong description:
How do young African Americans approach their faith in God when continued violence and police brutality batters the news each day? In The Spiritual Lives of Young African Americans, Almeda M. Wright argues that African American youth separate their everyday lives and their spirituality into mutually exclusive categories. This results in a noticeable division between their experiences of systemic injustices and their religious beliefs and practices. Yet Wright suggests that youth can and do teach the church and society myriad lessons through their theological reflections and actions. Giving special attention to the resources of African American religious and theological traditions, Wright creates a critical pedagogy for integrating spirituality into the lives of African American youth, as well as confronting and navigating spiritual fragmentation and systemic injustice.
This text is a striking execution of practical theology methodology. Wright carefully engages the lived realities of young African Americans as a lens for theological reflection and theoretical analysis. This ultimately lends to fresh and improved practices that address the concrete experiences of African American youth.
