Product Description
These finely honed non-denominational homilies are written in Du Bois' finest lyrical prose. The values espoused in these prescriptions for daily living are universal in their appeal across race, nationality and creed and stand as ethical guides to the well-lived life. As we hear the prayers, we come to realize that these moral admonitions just as easily could have been titled "prayers for all people." An introduction provides interesting insight into Du Bois' tenure as a teacher at Wilberforce then at Atlanta University and how the prayers came to be.

Great Work from a Great Fisk Alumnus

This book was nothing like I expected. It is a collection of prayers DuBois had been writing his entire life. The astonishing fact about the collection is that he kept these works a secret until his final days in the United States. This is a mind motivating book and highly underrated. It can move the "souls of black folks." This thoughts have nothing to do with the fact he and I both graduated from Fisk University.
