Minister. Theologian. Writer. Mystic. Activist. No single label can capture the multiplicity of Howard Thurman's life, but his influence is evident in the most significant aspects of the civil rights movement. In 1936, he visited Mahatma Gandhi in India and subsequently brought Gandhi's concept of nonviolent resistance across the globe to the United States. Later, through his book \u003ci\u003eJesus and the Disinherited\u003c\/i\u003e, he foresaw a theology of American liberation based on the life of Jesus as a dispossessed Jew under Roman rule. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Harvey's biography of Thurman speaks to the manifold ways this mystic theologian and social activist sought to transform the world to better reflect \"that which is God in us,\" despite growing up in the South during the ugliest years of Jim Crow. After founding one of the first intentionally interracial churches in the country--the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco--he shifted into a mentorship role with Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders. He advised them to incorporate more inward seeking and rest into their activism, while also recasting their struggle for racial equality in a more cosmopolitan, universalist manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs racial justice once again comes to the forefront of American consciousness, Howard Thurman's faith and life have much to say to a new generation of the disinherited and all those who march alongside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802876773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802876775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
