His book Raising My V.O.I.C.E. (Verbalizing Orderly Impressions through Creative Endeavors),
Raising My V.O.I.C.E. is a collection of writings by Jeffery A. Faulkerson that chronicles his sixteen-year quest to understand why Americans focus so much on their differences, not enough on their similarities. It is a book that pulls from the headlines of yesterday and today, offering sound advice to black Americans for how they can prosper collectively through their love of God and neighbor. Ultimately, Raising My V.O.I.C.E. is one man using the power of the pen to prompt serious dialogue about racial reconciliation and humanity’s citizenship in God’s kingdom.

The All-American Think Tank was created to serve as a gathering place for individuals who wish to find solutions to the social issues that bind us.
