Never Lost: The Black Church As God's Ark of the Covenant

By W Franklyn Richardson

Never Lost is a timely and hope-filled guide that invites readers to remember who they are and where they stand in every season of challenge and change.

Drawing on more than five decades of pastoral leadership, Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson reflects on how spiritual resilience is formed, tested, and strengthened, especially in moments of crisis and cultural upheaval. He offers insight into how faithful responses to adversity have sustained the Church, its leaders, and believers across generations, from past crises to the complex challenges of today.

In a time defined by disruption, Never Lost reframes uncertainty not as a season of breaking, but as a season of building. The book helps readers understand how faith, identity, and community provide stability and direction, offering guidance for staying grounded in God and steady in purpose even as circumstances shift.

Whether you are navigating your own season of change or living and leading within a community in transition, Never Lost offers practical insight, encouragement, and a renewed vision for faithful living and leadership shaped by hope and endurance.
