Never to Leave Us Alone

History & Biography

“At last, I am so pleased to read a book that specifically zeroes in on Dr. King's reservoir of power drawn directly from the prayer tradition of black people, a tradition that I have written about. To a great extent, the recorded history of the civil rights movement has ignored or failed to appreciate that Dr. King's practice of prayer, both personal and corporate, was in fact a historic river of living hope that quite naturally connected with people from every walk of life in a way that could not have happened without this wellspring of black soulful prayer tradition.”
