African-American Spirituals are a cornerstone of the Christian faith in so many traditions. Luke Powery uses these spirituals in devotions to explore the Advent season with readers. Ideal for personal devotion, this collection could also be used in a Bible study setting. The leader should consider using audio recordings of the spirituals Pwery ponders to enhance the experience.

Easy and yet encouraging and inspirational read for quiet time for any small to medium size church pastor or senior pastor; could be used in group pastor meeting setting effectively.

My favourite Christian guide for Advent to Christmas this year.
The book has several short readings from scripture, usually a portion from the old testament, the new testament, a psalm and a gospel each day. This is followed by an American Nero Spiritual. These lead into the thought for that day.
This is an especially good read to have on a Kindle as it is possible to find a choir singing the spiritual to enhance your experience.
I highly recommend this reader as a guide to the season.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

This book is a blessing. It brings together scripture, a devotional and a spiritual song. I love spirituals so I was very happy to receive this book and it did not disappoint. I will be purchasing this book for people that love spirituals as I do. I will be looking to read more from this author. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this wonderfully blessed book in return for my honest review.
