There are also prayers for celebrating special occasions, such as marriages, baptisms, and birthdays. Each prayer speaks to the heart of the African American experience, touching, comforting, and inspiring."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
