Moving and Powerful

For every African American to read is an understatement..This book helps African Americans remember how they fought in times of struggle with the help of prayer.

Beautiful Book

This is a wonderful book, a very special book. When I look at these pictures of people praying to God in so many religious traditions, I am moved in a way I have never experienced before with a book. I will recommend this book and I will lift this book as high as I can.
