About this title: His brother died in his arms, shot by a deputy marshal. He was beaten and tortured by the sheriff and state police, yet he returned good for evil, love for hate, progress for prejudice and brought hope to black and white alike. Gripping.

"Read this book and got a tour in Mississippi of all the places he talks about in the book. It's similar to "With Justice For All", but more stories. The life of John Perkins is inspirational."
"This book is the autobiography of a quiet and little known major league player in the civil rights movement; on the same level as Martin Luther King only not as well known. His strength, his vision, his dedication is overwhelming. Perkins is a mighty force in the world of civil rights, community development, and a Christian perspective. This book in particular tells his tory of how he came to be, as well as his work that is now all around the world and throughout the US where there are impoverished and struggling communities. One might say he is a Black American male version of Mother Teresa/MLK."
"Amazing story about one man's plight with racism and how he overcame. It's been a long time since I've read this, but I remember nothing but being overcome with so much emotion reading John Perkin's story. A must read for everyone!"
