This Far by Faith: Stories from the African-American Religious Experience

by Juan Williams

Product description America's struggle, rise and triumph from slavery to equal rights for all, is a living testament to the power of deep, personal faith for Americans of all colors. The black experience in America is defined by a religious faith and the power it offered to people viewed as powerless, even less than human, until the flame of faith showed them that they were equal members in God's family. That everlasting faith in God and trust in God's justice remains central to all of America's concept of democracy and one nation under God to this day. Juan Williams and Quinton Dixie bring to life the pivotal moments facing men and women of faith in this monumental history.
