Catalyst: "The Gathering: City Prayers, City Hopes" from Church Publishing, Inc., by Jeannine Otis, 112 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $10
[Source: Church Publishing, Inc.] "I've did some bad things in my life, from getting high to bad fights. Plus lying, stealing & getting nice. I knew that all those things weren't right. But now I have Jesus to make things tight. Even though the devil still tempts us to cuss, I just block him out & think about Judas. I will never betray God for the devil ever again. Well, I can't say never, but I'll strive not to sin." -- Incarcerated Youth, USA
This collection of prayers and reflections from rappers, both known and unknown, and inner city and incarcerated youth, is a powerful, unconventional expression of spirituality. Of great relevance for those speaking to the hip hop culture and experience ("Prayer for the DJs"), it cuts across boundaries.
