Deborrah Cooper is a seasoned writer, social researcher, advice columnist and the author of a controversial new book entitled "The Black Church – Where Women Pray and Men Prey." Based on the shocking 2010 blog post that had CNN, Al Sharpton, Michael Baisden, Michael Eric Dyson, Al Joyner and all of Black America in an uproar: The Black Church: How Black Churches Keep African American Women Single and Lonely!

The book continues an uncomfortable examination of the power of churches in the black community, non-biblical tenets of the prosperity gospel, and the games played by unscrupulous black preachers. This page-turning book also contains dozens of real-life stories of financial and sexual abuses by Pastors, Ministers, Bishops, and church members, along with astute observations about the games being run on women in churches across the nation.

For black women brave enough to question their religious leaders, willing to take a look at what is going on at their churches, and strong enough to demand protection from predatory men for women and children within the walls of the House of God, this book is right on time. And for the black women and children that have personally experienced the travesties of which the author writes, the book validates their reality and gives them a voice.
