The Beatitudes: From Slavery to Civil Rights

40 pp. | Eerdmans | January, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5352-3 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tim Ladwig. Weatherford's stirring text, narrated by God, follows African Americans from slavery and the civil rights movement to the White House: "I was with Barack Obama...I was the Bible where he placed his hand." Accounts of historic figures and events are loosely linked to the Beatitudes, which, unfortunately, are incompletely printed at the bottom of Ladwig's expressive illustrations.
