Guide My Feet

Praise

In Guide My Feet: Prayers and Meditations on Loving and Working for Children, Marian Wright Edelman (founder and president of the Children’s Defense Fund) revisits Bennettsville, South Carolina, to give a moving spiritual autobiography in which we learn how, as a youth, she felt ‘wrapped up and rocked in a cradle of faith, song, prayer, ritual, and worship’ by parents, community, church, and later, by caring adults at Spelman College. It would be impossible, according to Edelman, to recreate that same small-town childhood past for her own children; the prayers and meditations in Guide My Feet, reflect her ongoing struggle to teach and live the same enduring values of faith, integrity, and service upon which she was raised. —Midwest Book Review
