A new book by Dr. Samuel C. Tolbert, Jr.
Releasing June 2026
There are moments when an ordinary beginning becomes the start of an extraordinary faith journey.
For Dr. Samuel C. Tolbert, Jr., that journey began in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with a call to preach that would grow into more than four decades of pastoral leadership, public service, community impact, denominational leadership, and global mission.
From the Pulpit to the Public Square is a powerful reflection on faith in motion and leadership beyond the walls. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and lessons shaped by real-life ministry, Dr. Tolbert shares how faith is not meant to remain inside the sanctuary, but to move into the places where people live, lead, struggle, rebuild, and serve.
This book invites pastors, ministry leaders, civic leaders, church members, and believers to consider how God uses faith to form character, inspire change, and impact the world.
