Editorial Reviews

"At a time in America's history that we need an increase in common understanding and respect, Reverend Richardson gives us a look through his eyes and heart with the guiding light of God's grace, at a future of justice and possibility encompassing all people, and he makes the case. His life story places him among the contemporary living heroes of our country, and what a gift that he wrote this book, a must-read."
