| Anyone who thinks living a life of faith is full and boring should read this book. It is crystal clear that God can and does use ordinary people of any age or background who will trust and follow Divine leadership to accomplish the work of the Great Commission. This book proves that God can make his plans come about without being time bound. Martha Oldham's grandfather wanted to go to Africa in 1900 as a missionary but never got to go because her grandmother could not meet the physical requirements. Martha grew up knowing her grandfather never felt fulfilled. That dream between Martha's grandfather and the Lord took a full century to be fulfilled through a granddaughter who was in her mid 50's the first time she went to Africa in God's name. The book tells of the four trips Martha made to Zaire, Kenya, Ghana and finally Rwanda and Tanzania. The book opens God's doors for Martha in spite of obstacles and occasional danger. Those who read the book will be challenged to go through the doors God opens to us all in many ways as he takes us on a grand adventure in faith. |

| Believing that African American Religious studies has reached a crossroads, Cornel West and Eddie Glaude seek, in this landmark anthology, to steer the discipline into the future. Arguing that the complexity of beliefs, choices, and actions of African Americans need not be reduced to expressions of black religion, West and Glaude call for more careful reflection on the complex relationships of African American religious studies to conceptions of class, gender, sexual orientation, race, empire, and other values that continue to challenge our democratic ideals. |

This type of worship allows God to enter into worshipper's lives with an openness to respond with swaying of the body, tapping feet, weeping eyes, and heartfelt emotion. |
