Howard Thurman's Jesus and the Disinherited is a wonderful and stirring novel. It's a spiritual story told with such passionate honesty that it forces you to pay attention. The protagonist, Luke, is an intelligent and well-educated man who has failed at everything he has ever tried--his labor unions, his social movements--except for one thing: food. Food, that elusive alchemical key which unlocks the human soul. Dr. Barton does a beautiful job of incorporating gospel events into the narrative in ways that are both ingenious and accessible for readers of all backgrounds.

This is a powerful and gripping book that follows the life of Howard Thurman, the son of former slaves who was later ordained as a minister. From his childhood to his death, this autobiography gives concrete examples of how Jesus is understood and experienced by African Americans today.

The central theme of Jesus and the Disinherited is righteousness. In order to live a life of righteousness, one must be aware of what they are doing and ensure that they do not fall into sin.
