Editor Darryl D. Sims scores once more with this follow-up to his critically acclaimed first volume. Sound the Trumpet Again presents eighteen sermons, from some of the country’s most prominent and prolific black pastors, that speak to critical issues facing black men today. Topics such as the necessity of a black role model, maintaining strength in the struggle, a call to fatherhood, having a vision and a voice, overcoming stereotypical images, saving black boys in America, the real dangers of the “thug life,” and the crucial role of faith are discussed with conviction and a sense of urgency.

Contributors to this “wake up call” to all concerned include:

Charles G. Adams, Johnny Ray Youngblood, Tyrone P. Jones IV, Joe S. Ratliff, Lance Watson, J. Alfred Smith Sr., Rodney Maiden, Frank A. Thomas, Jim Holley, Claybon Lea Jr., R.W. McKissick Jr., Harold Hudson, Robert Charles Scott, Gordon A. Humphrey Jr., Jamal-Harrison Bryant, Frederick D. Haynes III, Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and Darryl D. Sims.
