Witness to Grace: A Testimony of Favor is a poignant true-life story that chronicles the remarkable journey of W. Franklyn Richardson. Grace, as divine unmerited favor given freely by a loving God, is shown time and time again throughout each season of Richardson's life.

Richardson bares his heart as he reflects on the gut-wrenching disappointment of loss, the unforgivable oppression of a people, the need for understanding, humility and unification across denominational lines and the power of education to provide unparalleled opportunities through the all-encompassing Grace of God. Against all odds, Richardson found himself the object of God's favor as he leaned on God for strength and direction. If you have ever questioned the value of your purpose, the significance of your future and what you have the capacity to overcome, this book will shift your perception of life and give you a renewed path forward. W. Franklyn Richardson's testimony is a Witness to Grace.

A social gospel journey through a pastor's eyes

Wow!! This was a very powerful book talking about the pastor's experiences through church, home, school, and career dealing with racism and the changing times around him. Black colleges and Black churches are important because we learn so much valuable lessons, build confidence, form a community, and give back. We desperately need these resources as a whole. It's a shame that blacks and some other minorities are facing racism globally but we must keep fighting for our own freedom and rights and resources that we deserve. As a black woman even though I went to a great college I didn't get a full scholarship and I wish I had the chance and opportunity to go to a HBCU with a full scholarship. My education, outlook, and finances would be so much easier. I'm a victim of longterm childhood abuse so I had to use whatever resourses that were available to me even though I wish I could of learned of other options regarding my education. Anyways this was a very eye opening book and if the churches and society could really see our struggles, even the scales, make amends, and reconcile our differences racism and most of the ills of society could me gone much sooner than later, hopefully.

Pastor’s accomplishments in Christian leadership and civil rights

Witness to Grace epitomizes the viridical spirituality of which is God’s endowment to His messenger Rev. Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson. Personal, priceless and loving memories, valley experiences, mountaintop revelations, and God’s awareness of Pastor Richardson’s requisite need to bring His spirit to his manuscript, has met the need for publication with ardent explanations, and spiritual expectations and revelations. Pastor Richardson is endowed by God to speak His word to His people in a clear and definable manner; I am relearning the Christian way through God’s Grace and faith by reading Witness to Grace. Witness to Grace is a must read panegyric for those searching for answers to personal, unexplainable and critical Christian issues that appear to be undefinable. Thank you Pastor for your gift of love, faith, and awareness. Lawrence Diggs Bel Air, Maryland
