Review Quotes:
"It's impossible to read the book without doing some fundamental rethinking about the role religion can play in . . . public life. . . . Intricate, dazzling in its reach into so many corners of Black and white southern life and fascinating at every turn. . . . In its mix of rigor, daring and perceptiveness, A Stone of Hope is a spectacular work." -- New York Times Book Review
