Bound for Glory: Book and Contest

What Do You Think? Wednesday

A few weeks ago I told you about the amazing writer Patricia Raybon, whose new book the One Year® daily devotional God’s Great Blessings is now available. In that post I mentioned that she is a contributor to the book Bound for Glory: Celebrating the Gift of African American Spirituals through Expressive Calligraphy, which is now available in stores everywhere. It’s a gorgeous book of penetrating imagery and words that give another layer of creative texture to these meaningful songs. Listen to Raybon’s interview with the book’s author, Timothy Botts, and let me know what you think.
