My Soul Is a Witness - African-American Women's Spirituality (Paperback, Revised edition)

"A jewel which belongs in libraries, churches, classrooms and homes of women and men of all colors, cultures and religions." -- Carter Heyward, The Women's Review of Books Featuring the work of Maya Angelou, Rita Dove, Nikki Giovanni, bell hooks, Audre Lourde, Toni Morrison, Bernice Johnson Reagan, Sonia Sanchez, Susan L.Taylor, Iyanla Vanzant, and Alice Walker, among many others, My Soul Is a Witness is a powerful testament to the importance of religion and spirituality in the lives of African-American women. The writings in this anthology bear witness to specific ways that the Spirit expresses itself in the lives of African-American women, whether through a sign, dream, song, in connection with an ancestor, or as a call to service. My Soul Is a Witness demonstrates that experience of faith, although unique to every individual, is also the inheritance of these women in the African-American community. Surely, this anthology will touch every sister of the spirit.
"Gloria Wade-Gayles's My Soul Is a Witness is an authentic call to days, rituals and strengths of old. Strengths we still have. Spirituality we need to rely upon." --Sandra West, Chicago Defender
