The late Rev. Robert Lewis Gilbert was the first African American graduate of Baylor University, graduating with a B.A. degree in 1967. He was referred to as “Little Giant” by family members due to his small stature yet enormous heart and passion for justice. He was the first black teacher assigned to a formerly all-white public school in Waco. A well-known civil rights leader in Central Texas, Gilbert served as pastor at Carver Baptist Church–a congregation that grew over 500% under his leadership. In 1980, he was named Citizen of Texas and in 1992 he received Waco’s Outstanding Humanitarian Award. No Excuses Accepted highlights Gilbert’s journey as a courageous spiritual leader. Having struggled with a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 14, Gilbert was known as a fighter. As he states in No Excuses Accepted, “God says, You can! God says you can do anything. There is nothing on this earth strong enough to hold you back…my life has tested the limits of God’s strength and power.”

The gulf between a man’s public performance and private practice is often long and wide.  Yet, with Dr. Samuel Jackson Gilbert, Sr., many of the most reputable preachers will agree that he lived the life he preached. Dr. Gilbert’s passion was for pastors and preachers, and he deservedly earned with blood, sweat, and tears the reputation of being a “pastor of pastors”.  His heart was for preachers in and out of the pulpit. This book is partly memoir and partly sharing of tips and lessons learned as a preacher of the Gospel, pastor, and family man. Dr. Gilbert was pastor emeritus of the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church in Houston, Texas.
