Hope-Giving

Well-researched, wisely compiled, exhaustive in scope, encouraging in result, and providing worshipful hope. James Washington, in the spirit of Harold Carter's The prayer tradition of Black people, has collated over 200 prayers, poems, hymns, and stories reflecting the nature of African American spirituality. Lay people and academics will equally benefit from and enjoy this vibrant work. Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction .

Inspiring!

This is a collection of prayers that are beautiful, at times heart-wrenching, and always inspiring. I expect to read this book again and again.

A Book that Uplifts the Soul

What a marvelous compendium of African American spirituality! Readers will invariably find themselves adding their own "Amen" with every turn of the page. The value of the book is enhanced by moving pictures and illustrations. A helpful bibliography and index are also included. It is regrettable that the late James M. Washington is not around to see the full fruit of his labor. He has certainly produced a work that is both timely and timeless in its relevance.
