Cover of Soul Food

Soul Food

"Soul Food" is comprised of seven chapters, each devoted to a different aspect of life: Love, Self-Esteem, Family, Wisdom, Tenacity, Creativity, and Faith. Each chapter contains about fourteen stories, not just quotes or proverbs. In the tradition of Chicken Soup for the Soul, a collection of stories, celebrity anecdotes, folk tales, & inspirational accounts from ordinary people, each illustrating a different aspect of life—love, self-esteem, family, wisdom, tenacity, creativity, & faith. When Eric Copage was researching ideas for a new inspirational book for African Americans to follow up on the success of his Black Pearls series, he poured over readers' comments for books like Simple Abundance, Chicken Soup For The Soul, and Don't Sweat The Small Stuff.
