Upon This Rock

"Freedman's vivid, wonderfully affecting book....is journalism of the highest order, a compassionate account of a year in the life of an extraordinary man, a charismatic Brooklyn preacher named Reverend Johnny Ray Youngblood...a sharply focused, triumphant, hymn-shouting wonder of a book documenting the spiritual and worldly struggles of a people grappling with everyday realities that would test the convictions of a saint...A."--Entertainment Weekly. SC, 373 pages.
