I've always dug his sharp insight and this book is guide we can keep close to us recognizing the God in us and not just join a shelf of other reads afterwards.

I will turn to this inspiring work time and time again for fresh hope and new perspectives!" Encouragement Coach Felicia T. Scott, professional life coach and author of Thrive! 7 Strategies For Extraordinary Living "Roland Martin is that rare writer, out-of-the-box thinker, and social and political philosopher in early 21st century America: brutally honest and passionate, with the intellect to back up his musings on a range of popular and unpopular topics. Whether you agree with his assessments or not doesn't matter. What matters is that he forces you to consider America, and the world, from his vantage point. And critical perspectives like Martin's are especially important when so many are so afraid to speak their minds these days." Kevin Powell, author, Someday We'll All Be Free "Roland S. Martin delivers journalism a blunt challenge; secular and religion are not in competition; a much needed reminder." Lee H. Walker, President/CEO, The New Coalition for Economic and Social Change |
