Summary
Details

Against the Odds is Chaplain Marva Cromartie Nyema's inspiring memoir of faith, resilience, and triumph over adversity. Raised in a segregated community in Jacksonville, Florida, she overcame discrimination and hardship to pursue a life of faith and service.

As a trailblazing chaplain in the U.S. Army Reserves, U.S. Air Force, and Air National Guard, she often found herself the only woman, Black chaplain, or Pentecostal minister in her assignments. Facing racism, gender bias, and harassment, she relied on her unwavering faith in God to persevere.

This powerful memoir offers inspiration, leadership lessons, and a testimony of courage for readers navigating their own callings and challenges.
