- A solid new addition to the Morehouse collection for spiritual directors - First book addressing the concerns and issues of people of color in spiritual direction - Wide ecumenical appeal "These essays speak of how we have incorporated our contemplative practices into our family life; our urban, non-religious background; how we have been nurtured in struggles for health and life through our contemplative prayer practices and our courage to survive and even thrive in the midst of dire circumstances.
