Soul Care Resources by POC authors
Though not at all an exhaustive list, my desire is to begin compiling books that are written by POC/WOC/BIPOC Christians that have the express purpose of soul care, or which have been described as balm for the soul by friends of color. Again, this list is not exhaustive, and would love to hear if you would have others to add.
