Raise Him Up: A Single Mother's Guide to Raising a Successful Black Man

by Derrick Moore

There is no greater hope for single mothers than to watch their sons succeed, and African-American single mothers face more adversity than most. Raise Him Up delves into the challenges faced by African-American single moms and offers advice, scriptural support, and helpful prayers. Each chapter relates a spiritual point taken from the book of Acts, a mother's story, and draws parallels to the struggles of the modern day African-American mother. Chapters also offer stories of African-American athletes who were raised by single moms, and against all odds, succeeded.

Moms will learn to give encouragement, push their boys to try new things, and keep them out of trouble. Raise Him Up is essential reading for single African-American moms who want nothing more than to see their sons grow into happy, successful men.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

This book is another reminder of how great my Mom is. Like Derrick Moore's Mom, the resources were limited, yet God blessed her, indeed, to do a lot with a little. This book had a lot that touched my spirit. It would be meaningful for all Moms and Dads, single or married. I am encouraged to learn my national anthem, "Lift Every Voice," again, in a new way. Wondering why? Read the book.🦋
