A review by stephanieridiculous
Soul Care in African American Practice by Barbara L. Peacock

2.0

 
As others have said, great premise but weak execution. I felt like Peacock wasn't sure if she wanted to write a biographical history book, a memoir of her own, or a summary of spiritual practices she'd like to see others implement. The result, unfortunately, was that I didn't feel like any of the stated objectives of the book were achieved.

Many of the chapters were repetitive and seemed to lose the point. If you aren't already familiar with the folks highlighted or the spiritual practices discussed I don't think this book will provide much benefit to you. However, if you are already familiar the questions at the end of each chapter are likely a good time investment. While I personally didn't get much out of this book I do super appreciate how practical it aimed to be & the list of additional resources at the end.
