"Rev. Marbury's poetic assertions have always seemed to elevate the tenor and importance of the information being presented, making it, at once, something you wanted to hear...something you wanted to listen to; like a lovingly or carelessly whispered, heartfelt intonation. His book is an autobiographical, generation-spanning work of worship and praise to our Lord and Savior. It is realized through the prism of the history of Black people in America. This book is a profoundly introspective and unconventional poetic account of the pilgrimage of a poor, little asthmatic black boy from the Hill District of Pittsburgh to the corridors of America's most hallowed, powerful and elite institutions, and of the people met along the way, the challenges faced and overcome. Moreover, it is about the love, grace and mercy of the God who was always with him and who waited patiently on him to answer his call to ministry. My People, My People, My God is a spiritual, historical, sociological and racial American jazz exhortation from which the reader/hearer will be transported to empathic, immutable, soaring flight." - The Reverend Grainger Browning, Senior Pastor, Ebenezer AME Church, Fort Washington, Maryland."Very seldom in life do people take time to reflect, observe and express their insights, and be creative in their expressions of the inner spirit of the soul. Rev. Don Marbury has allowed his inner spirit to connect with the higher Spirit to express genuine expressions through works of his experience and challenges. His insights and down right common sense come through as one who appreciates life, who never underestimates the value of life lessons, nor the favor of God's grace upon his life and others. Reading this book will wake up your creative spirit and will inspire and motivate you to want to express your own ideas as you seek the higher Spirit." - The Right Reverend Dr. Harry L. Seawright, 133rd Bishop of the Afri-can Methodist Episcopal Church."I am blessed that my life crossed paths with Don Marbury, and we are all blessed that he has shared his remarkable journey with such courage, honesty, and grace. His is an expansive vision we would benefit to listen, truly listen, to, as we try to chart our own course in the midst of such complicated times." - Ken Burns, American Filmmaker.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Don Marbury is the senior pastor of Ebenezer AME Church in Hagerstown, MD.
