Holmes, PhD, president emerita of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and author of Joy Unspeakable: Contemplative Practices of the Black Church"Racial healing and liberation work must be engaged both in the head and the heart, vividly demonstrated in this volume illuminating portions of Tubmans life as a mystic and freedom fighter." --Catherine Meeks, PhD, executive director of Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing and coauthor of Passionate for Justice: Ida B.

Dr. Paula Owens Parker, program associate at The Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership, Union Presbyterian Seminary, Richmond, Virginia"The word mystical almost immediately shifts ones focus away from here and now. There was no such needless diversion in the life of Harriet Tubman. Her mighty mystical experience was divinity in the dirt of it all. Gods grace was more than sufficient for her to face both the unknown and the all too well-known terrors and horrors. This sacred possibility has never been more needed in our world than right here, right now." --Kirk Byron Jones, author of Soul Talk: How to Have the Most Important Conversation of All Long Description Harriet Tubman, freedom fighter and leader in the Underground Railroad, is one of the most significant figures in US history. Her courage and determination in bringing enslaved people to freedom have established her as an icon of the abolitionist movement. But behind the history of the heroine called Moses was a woman of deep faith. In Walking the Way of Harriet Tubman , Therese Taylor-Stinson introduces Harriet, a woman born into slavery whose unwavering faith in God and practices in prayer and contemplation carried her through insufferable abuse and hardship. Her deep spirituality rooted in mysticism, Christianity, and African indigenous beliefs sustained her escape from slavery and led her to an internal liberation, giving her the strength and purpose to lead others on the road to freedom. Harriets lived spirituality illuminates a profound path forward for those of us in the fight for justice and equity--a freedom which Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and people of color must cultivate to be fully who we are called to be for ourselves and our communities. As the luminous significance of Harriet Tubmans spiritual life is revealed, so too is the path to our own spiritual truth, advocacy, and racial justice as we follow in her footsteps--for Black lives and all people of color.
