Summary: Faith has always been the key to success!
Review: Keeping the Faith is a collective group of reflective essays written by famous and not-so famous writers to celebrate African Americans and our strong resolve as a people. Tavis Smiley has written the foreword, along with eight essays that begin each section of the book. The sections of the book delve into black love, grief and healing, overcoming challenges and hope. A favorite was Love and Self Love, a poetic essay that touched my spirit. The various reflections will inspire and empower the reader and remind one that we have come a long way. This book highlights the inner strength of African-Americans as we deal with day-to-day issues. This book is a welcome addition to a family library. Reviewed by Robilyn Heath

Summary: Faith has always been the key to success!
Review: Tavis Smiley's Keeping the Faith is a true collective testament of what faith can do in the Black Community. As a featured writer in the book, I was simply proud to be in the number. However, when I received my copy, I sat down and read the hearts and minds of all of the other writers featured. Right next to the Bible, this is the kind of book from which we, as Black Americans, can gather our strength to endure every situation in our lifetimes. This book is such a jewel, a beautiful and multifaceted gem which from every angle illustrates the true liberation of individuals and people. We are a people of strength. We make it through all types of drama in our families, on our jobs and in our relationships. It is no secret how cruel the world can be, but this book will have you laughing, crying, moving, shaking and most importantly, keeping the faith within yourself. If you've been yearning for a good ole' sit-down storytelling, grab hold of Keeping the Faith! Every now and then I pull mine down and read a story -- just to keep me inspired to do what I believe I've been appointed to do. This book is just another show of what can be brought about when we join together in unity, love and faith. Theh books main message is that "we are more than conquerors" when we keep the faith!

Summary: Must have in your personal library
Review: What can I say? The brother walks the walk and talks the talk. In promoting his book Tavis made sure that he held signing parties at Black owned book stores. This book will allow others to read about, 'What makes Black people so strong.'
