The Author

Our founder, Derrick I. Temple, Sr., holds a unique place in his heart for Dr. Melvin Von Wade, Sr. Under Dr. Wade, Sr.'s tutelage, he served as Assistant to Pastor Wade at the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church of Los Angeles, CA. There, he was groomed by Pastor Wade for ministry. Along with publishing Think on This, our founder has committed to publishing volumes of Dr. Wade's sermons in the near future. 


Think on This is a collection of wise sayings from M. V. Wade, Sr., one of the world's greatest preachers of all time, especially within the rich history of the Black Church. Dr. Wade gives provocative quotes from other theologians as well as his own and syncretizes them in a way that invokes thoughtful reflection. Pastor M. V. Wade, Sr. challenges each reader to think about things that are lovely and of good report. 

THINK ON THIS

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." - Philippians 4:8

HIS WISDOM

3-Part Interview with Pastor H. B. Charles, Jr.

"Before I founded Urban Publishing House, I served under my cousin, who I call "Uncle Mel," as the Assistant to the Pastor. Under his leadership, I was groomed for pastoral ministries. Dr. M. V. Wade, Sr. is a strategist and a "thinker." Honor to my brother in the ministry H. B. Charles, Jr. is due for providing a platform for Dr. Wade to share his collection of wisdom and experiences God has granted him." - Derrick I. Temple, Sr.

Interview Part 3

Among the many truths and wisdom Dr. Wade shares, the origin of publications of The Religion of Malcolm X Versus The Religion of Jesus Christ began with this conversation between Pastor Charles and Dr. Wade.
