Description - Upon This Rock by Samuel G Freedman
Amidst the poverty, crime and despair in one of New York's worst neighbourhoods, a small Black Church led by its charismatic and controversial leaders, Reverend Johnny Ray Youngblood, has banded together to rise above its dismal surroundings. This book takes an in-depth look at the St Paul Community Baptist Church and its inspiring leader, and follows several members through the course of a year. Through these men and women and through the many groups the Church has sponsored (for teenagers, African-American men, drug abusers), the reader is told a story of faith, courage and spirituality that offers a glimmer of hope for the present and the future. The book won the 1993 Helen B. Bernstein Award for excellence in journalism. Samuel G. Freedman is the author of "Small Victories".
