Product Description

"Wade in the River" is a fresh approach to the faith of Africa and its contribution to the world. Starting with the Biblical accounts of significant Africans, then passing through early Christianity, winding through the Islamic period, pressing past Western slavery, and finally arriving at the present era, the book describes the riches of ancient, African Christianity. This book fills an important gap in the need for people from all ethnic backgrounds to rethink the idea that "Christianity is a white man's religion."

Customer Reviews

A Brilliantly written look at the Truth, that is long overdue!
This was a well written, well researched history that has been rewritten, swept under the carpet, and generally mutilated by other less informed and less compassionate authors. I found myself not only inspired but moved emotionally as I read about true heroes of the Christian Faith. In this very secular and pluralistic Western World that we live in, this work stands as a Lighthouse of Truth and a guide to those on the pathway to genuine Christian piety and practice. This book should be a must read for all Christians.
