Howard Thurman, Portrait of a Practical DreamerJohn Day Company, 1964 - 249 pages Howard Thurman is an unusual man and this book is his inspiring story. Born in Daytona Beach, Florida, at the turn of the century, he was the grandson of slaves. He is a minister and teacher whose life is characterized by the quest, in a world of divisive complexity, for the nuggets of common experience that bind brother to brother and man to man. His is a deeply personal faith; he a modern mystic who seeks not only insights into the nature of God, but ever richer experiences of God. (As written on the inside front cover.). |
