Jesus Walks the Southland

by Robert Gray

Overview

Poetry. In JESUS WALKS THE SOUTHLAND, Robert Gray paints a triptych of the holy Trinity of the South--religion, racism, and politics. And, as 'The Power of Prayer' signals, the painting is a personal prayer of a white Southerner offered as liturgy for others to recite. If before you devour the collection you want to know whether the prayer is lament, confession or thanksgiving, the answer is a powerful yes.--Rev. O. Wesley Allen, Jr., author of The Renewed Homiletic and Reading the Synoptic Gospels
