    Pastor, I’ve only been attending GCBC for about two months and you or the congregation of parishioners never cease to amaze me. I love this book. It is definitely a great read. My oldest son will be finishing it before the summer is over. May God continue to work through you and your extensive church ministries.

    Hello Pastor Perkins:

    I am interested in finding out where I can acquire a copy of the “Playbook for Christian Manhood: I am a resident of Redford, Michigan and I am raising a 13-year-old son as a single parent. His father passed away in February of last year (2008) I am in the process of working with several friends from my church to establish a boys mentoring group out of my home. Any information you could provide regarding the Benjamin E; Mays Male Academy and how to acquire your book would be greatly appreciate. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    Denise Jones-Garrett
