I was often reduced to tears by some of the stories. Here's one of my favorites:
"Yer see I am a preacher. De Lord call me once when I was workin’. … He call me and told me, in imagination, you know, that he wanted me to preach. I told him I didn’t know enough—that I was ig’nant, and the folks would laugh at me. But he drew me on and I prayed. I prayed out in the woods, and every time I tried to get up from my knees He would draw me down again. An’ at last a great light came down sudden to me, a light as big as the moon, an’ struck me hard on the head and on each shoulder and on the bress, here and here and here… And den same time warm was in around my heart, and I felt that the Book was there. An’ my tongue was untied, and I preach ever since and is not afraid. I can’t read de Book, but I has it here, I has de text, and de meanin’, and I speaks as well as I can, and de congregation takes what the Lord gives me."
- value honoring them!!!
Chapter after chapter, "Slave Religion" opens deeper and deeper layers of understanding. As you read, you sense Raboteau transporting you back directly into the historical experiences. His writing is so thoroughly researched as well as so adeptly penned, that scholar, student, and lay reader alike can equally enjoy and benefit from it. Peerless.
Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," "Soul Physicians," "Spiritual Friends," and the forthcoming "Sacred Friendships: Listening to the Voices of Women Soul Care-Givers and Spiritual Directors."
