Book Reviews of Altars in the Street: A Courageous Memoir of Community and Spiritual Awakening

Book Review: An emotional masterpiece to bind the gaps of race & religion
Summary: 5 Stars

Chavis' book is one of the few to literally draw tears from my eyes. It is a beautiful life story of one woman's difference in both race and spirituality, and her ability to make a difference by them. I truly believe that if word of mouth could only get around, it is deserving of the NY Times Bestseller. This book should be read as a novel, as well as a handbook on how to make a differnce in the world...in society...in your life.
