redbeard92 's review for:

Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman
5.0
challenging hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced

This book is said to have inspired Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s letters from Birmingham Jail. This book looked at the social economical status of Jesus and how his teachings should be seen in light of this. A reminder of the call to empty oneself to elevate others and to realize the gospel is help us increase in might, but it’s for those who “have their back against the wall.” 
It was sad to see some of the same struggles 80 years later, but thankful to have had other strides towards equality. 
Read this book, digest the information, and remember the true message of the gospel.
