Summary: Must Read, Life changing stories of CreativeChristianMystic
Review: Howard Thurman's autobiography is a defining, powerful collection of one man's life-stories that inspire family, schools, churches, nations and gives timely revelations into the transforming power of God's grace that spans the many gulfs that we call racial, economic, religious, political lines. This is a must read text.

Summary: One of the great American Memoirs of the 20th Century!
Review: I recently returned to Thurman's autobiography after 15 years. I am developing a course in Composition/African-American Literature. Thurman's words will be the springboard. His prose is elegant and concise; his sensitivity to nature, a poetic model; his expansive spirit, inspirational. Many chapters will serve as exercises for writing; e.g.: his instruction for the preparation of sermons. In fine, his response to life is a guidline for good writing and holy living.

Summary: An excellent compendium
Review: Thurman stands on his own as a giant. The only weakness of the book is that often the compilers feel the need to tell us what Thurman is going to say. Not sure so much from Disciplines of the Spirit needed to be reprinted. I read much of the book during a 12 hour Prayer Vigil and found it very enriching and satisfying.
