In the sermons that comprise Deal with It -Pastor Earl B. Mason, Sr. interweaves spiritual insight, sociological observation, and personal reflection to represent a dramatic, Spirit-led interplay between the black vernacular tradition and the sacred text."Many of the sermons enclosed will make you feel as if Pastor Mason is] sitting in your living room and talking to you personally about the things that are going on in your life...I am sure you will be blessed by this book, just as thousands have already been blessed by the power of Pastor Mason's preached Word and the victory that God has given him through Jesus Christ, our Lord."Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.Pastor Emeritus, Trinity United Church of ChristChicago, Illinois"Pastor Mason's story is unique in that God has taken him through the fiery trials, and he has come through as pure gold. His writing does not come as a result of taking a few courses and reading books, but it comes from the life of one who has been on the frontline of spiritual warfare...I strongly recommend this book."Rev.
