Reviews

“The wisdom of Africa surfacing today begins with Nelson Mandela and Credo Mutwa—Mutwa’s mythology complements Mandela’s political journey.” —Lusiah Teish, author of Jambalaya and Carnival of the Spirit

“The time is ripe for this series . . . soul-stirring quotations, personal narratives . . . luxurious photographs, and compact discs of prayers, sacred songs, ceremonies, and teachings.” —Spirituality & Health magazine

“One of the most exquisite collections of pictures and prose in print.” —Body & Soul Magazine

“Each book stands alone, but [the series] provides a whole larger than the sum of the parts . . . Breathtaking.” —Milton Erickson Foundation Newsletter
