Summary: Overall a book worth reading
Review: This book started out great. By telling the story of his life, Franklin then showed how the Black Church influenced his life. From that part he described the various ways in which the Black Church has dealt with the American mainstream. However, the book then went into a totally different track by discussing how churches can use foundations to create change. It almost becasme a how-to in getting money from foundations. It was this part that confused me as to the overall point of the book.
