FIVE GENERATIONS OF LEADERSHIP
THE VISION OF DR. RICHARD HENRY BOYD: FOUNDER 1896-1922
Dr. Richard Henry Boyd was a pioneering clergyman, religious organizer, educator, banker, and inspiring leader. He was a strategic problem solver and sought to provide resources and business solutions to freedmen and freedwomen during the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1896 he founded the National Baptist Publishing Board (NBPB), now known as R.H. Boyd. Within ten years of founding the National Baptist Publishing Board, the company became the largest and most notable Black publishing enterprise with an impressive list of publications. Dr. Boyd was a leader in the fight for civil rights, and he also promoted homeownership, missionary work, and travel among Black people. His dedication to elevating the position of Black people in multiple areas of life, in addition to religious studies, solidifies his place in history as one of the pioneering leaders of the time.
THE LEGACY OF DR. HENRY ALLEN BOYD: 1922-1959
In 1922, Henry Allen Boyd became the leader of NBPB, National Baptist Congress, and Citizens Bank. Dr. Henry Allen Boyd restructured the National Baptist Congress format, and a curriculum was developed to meet the critical social and religious needs of the period. Dr. H. A. Boyd also expanded the product offerings of the NBPB to include an extensive array of products, such as certificates, songbooks, record books, and educational courses. By 1934, NBPB served over 20,000 churches and Sunday schools across the country and the world. Citizens Bank continued to grow as well, reaching $1 million in capital assets by 1944. Under his leadership, the institutions survived the depression, world wars, conflict, opposition, growth, and competition.
THE ENDURANCE OF DR. T. B. BOYD, JR.: 1959-1979
In May of 1959, Dr. T. B. Boyd, Jr. assumed leadership of the NBPB, the National Baptist Congress, Citizens Banks, and other entities. During the turbulent decade of the 1960s, Dr. Boyd’s vision was to provide church leaders who were often bypassed by standard curricula with new Christian ideas and techniques. Dr. Boyd was a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, and he hosted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who served as a speaker at the 1960 session of the National Baptist Congress in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Boyd called for unity and the uplift of Black people in the Baptist denomination, which was deeply divided at the time because of theological disputes and cultural upheaval. Dr. Boyd’s focus on product development, acquisition of new equipment, and the planning of a new headquarters were pivotal in the success of the companies.
THE GUIDANCE OF DR. T. B. BOYD III: 1979-2017
Dr. T. B. Boyd III was appointed by the Board to assume command of the institution. Dr. Boyd began to lead with unsurpassed vigor and devotion, and the NBPB and the Congress began to grow at a phenomenal rate. One of his first major tasks included designing and building the new corporate headquarters, completed in 1974, fully equipped with the latest technology, production mechanisms, and safety measures. One of his most notable successes was the launch of The New National Baptist Hymnal, 21st Century Edition. This hymnal is still one of the most iconic product offerings at the company. His commitment to youth and education was continued with the founding of the Boyd Family Endowment Fund, which provides scholarships and grants to students and community organizations.
THE INNOVATION OF DR. LADONNA BOYD: 2017-PRESENT
As the fifth-generation president/CEO, Dr. Boyd is shaping and leading the company’s efforts to broaden its scope and offerings for modern needs. With a targeted focus on product development, technology, commercial printing opportunities, and author resources, Dr. Boyd has cultivated a wide range of skills necessary to lead R.H. Boyd through a new generation. The vision for R.H. Boyd is to be the leading resource for storytelling through print, multimedia channels, data collection, events, and serving as industry experts. R.H. Boyd is also positioned to assist in the alleviation of social concerns and social injustices, in addition to fulfilling the needs for Christian education, commercial printing, and educational resources within its community and beyond.

The Advent Devotional: Listening to the Wonder of the Christmas Season Music is at the heart of our Christmas celebrations. In the expectancy that hung over the world ahead of the very first Christmas, as newlyweds awaited the birth of their child and magi charted the stars, the first recorded Christmas songs rang out. Perhaps not as familiar as the carols on our holiday playlists, these melodies have woven their way into the very fabric of our Christmas traditions all the same.
This book invites us to experience these four biblical songs anew. Moving from the words of Scripture to contemplative readings and including thematic reflection sections and responsive prompts for each chapter, we explore how the wonder and beauty of the season can enrich our daily lives. Let the songs of Christmas lead us ever deeper into the awe-inspiring mystery of Emmanuel, God with us.

The Book of Ruth
A compelling, intentionally designed story on inclusion, loyalty, love, redemption. Ruth is the story of an implausible pairing: a widowed Moabite woman and an older Jewish man. Through their story, we’re reminded God moves and works in radically inclusive ways, often bringing those on the margins to the center of the narrative. As we read Ruth, may we reflect on our own stories, cultures, and traditions, and consider the invitation: to welcome those on the outside, to unequivocally behold them as our own family, to see everyone as kin.

The Book of Esther

It is an encouragement to all of us, to watch and to listen— with curiosity and attentiveness—for the implicit workings of God in serendipitous moments. It may not be explicit or how we would expect, but certainly God is there.
3190 | $36.00
The Gospel of John
