Standing in the Need of Prayer - Topshelf - Brief Article - Book Review

Ebony,  Jan, 2004  

(Free Press/Simon and Schuster, $27.50) by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the New York Public Library is a moving recognition of the power of prayer in the survival of African and African-American people, "our great sustainer of hope," writes Coretta Scott King in the book's foreword.

Through vivid photographs of ceremonies, rituals, singing and dance and a variety of evocative prayers, this work is a celebration of prayer across diverse cultures, reflecting such traditions as Christianity, Islam and Voudou in demonstrating the unfaltering faith and determination of a people.
