Won’t He Do It? God Can Do It Just Like That!

About the Book

This book is not for everyone. It is important that I say that because there is a notion that we are monolithic and everyone has to agree. This book is for those who know who HE is. I am watching Deon Cole who is an actor on the show Black’ish and a comedian. He was doing his stand up and he was joking about Black folk saying, “Won’t He do it!”. During the show he asked a white attendee who was “HE” and the boy didn’t know. Brilliantly, he explained to the white doy who “HE” he was and told him to reply appropriately. When Black people hear ``Won't He do it”, immediately they reply “YES HE WILL!”. Cole explained this to the white gentlemen, and spoke into the mic and said, “Won't HE do it?” and the white man replied “YES HE WILL!”. The audience laughed and applauded. Therefore, this book is for those who know who HE is. This book is for those who know how to reply, “YES HE WILL!”. More importantly, this book is for those who want to know who HE is and why is that. HE to many people is God. Not that God has to be a man or masuciline but God as the Ultimate authority. The authority in which Mom would say, “Wait until you Daddy gets home.” He is that authoritative figure that would make things wrong right. He is a Creator, and the God of the Universe and God of all Gods. Won’t HE do it is a phrase born out of the expericince of the African American Church. The African American Church is the parent of the current Church worship and style in America. Enslaved African created their own worship, culture, and fellowship that has stood the test of time.

About the Author

My journey to realizing won’t He do it began in Lexington, Virginia. I am the great grandson of Flora Henderson, grandson of Margaret Wright (Henderson), and son of Jackie Davis (Henderson). I have been a husband and will forever be the proud Father of Keirria, Isaiah, Ellis II, Emani, and Eniya, and OG (original grandfather) to Jeremy. I graduated from Valley Forge Military Junior College with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts in 1988. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication from Old Dominion University in 1991. I began graduate school and completed all class requirements for the Masters of Arts in African American history from Old Dominion University. Yet a call into the ministry left me unable to complete my Master’s thesis on the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, as I began to recognize a failed spiritual movement in the midst of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements of the 1960s. I graduated with a Masters of Divinity in 1999. I received a Doctorate of Education in Child, Youth, and Family Studies at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 2008. My dissertation title was “Academic Motivation of African American Males in U.S. History.”
