Summary: SUPERB BOOK AND NOW THE FINAL BOOK IS RELEASED
Review: This is a TRULY SUPERB BOOK in a Three Book Series, The AMAZON website still has the third book as not avilable IT IS IN FACT RELEASED, Book Three "The Last Mile of The Way" in the "Standing on The Promises" Series, Written by Margaret Balir Young and Darius Aidan Gray - About the tribulations of The Early Black Amercian/African Pioneers and The Mormon Church - just read my review! "Standing on The Promises" - Never before can I ever remember reading three superb books in just over three weeks. No wonder the writers Margaret Blair Young with Darius Aidan Gray have received Awards for these works. From Book 1 "One More River to Cross" the writers brought these true characters to life, I shared the pain and the tears of Elijah Abel and on to Jane Manning. Book 2 continued my journey. I climbed Ensign Peak in Utah, with Elijah Abel and his Son Moroni and felt the pain that those early Black Mormon Pioneers endured. They all where Standing on the Promises and suffering so much, Green Flake, Lewis Manning, Louis Gray, while still having so much "Faith and Strength" Book 3 "The Last Mile of The Way" continues the journey of these Black Mormon Pioneers and it does not let us the readers down in any way. Taking us from the period of the 1890's, we meet more new true characters and we share with them their journey and trials, and also getting counted for their beliefs while still waiting for what they long for "The Priesthood" before reaching "Glory" - It reminds me of one of my famous favourite Gospel Songs "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, Nobody Knows But JESUS - Nobody Knows the Sorrow I have seen but You LORD" - We also experience other believers in Abner Howell, Len Hope, Ruffin Bridegforth right through to the birth and journey of Darius "Aidan" Gray and the long awaited Revelation of The Priesthood in 1978. Yes I know I shared those tears and pains and spoke with such as Elijah Abel, nut I can never really know the suffering and pain, but my understanding is now better and stronger. Everyone! Should read this "Trilogy" of Books "Standing on The Promises" - and they should be in every school and library worldwide. I give Thanks to the most talented writers Margaret Blair Young and Darius Aidan Gray for allowing us to make this journey and more so to those believers who have gone before us, Elijah Abel, Jane Manning, Green Flake and Lewis Gray and to finish off with words once more from that favourite Gospel Song (arranged by H Fuqua The famous Motown writer) "IF YOU GET THERE BEFORE I DO, TELL ALL MY FRIEND THAT I'M COMING TOO" One day I hope I will meet and talk with Elijah Abel and those True Characters! "In the Last Mile of The Way" - Superb! 5 out of 5 John Barry Sheffield - England UK - August 2003
