“As poet, prophet, and priest, Thurman builds upon a powerful legacy of ancestral hope: belief in a liberating God who can always be found ‘in and among the struggling.’”
—Yolanda Pierce
A universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of life
Howard Thurman’s Meditations of the Heart is a beautiful collection of over 150 prayers, poems, and meditations on prayer, community, and the joys and rituals of life by one of our greatest spiritual leaders. Thurman, a spiritualist and mystic, was renowned for the quiet beauty of his reflections on humanity and our relationship with God.
In a new foreword, Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University’s School of Divinity, calls attention to the justice-centered theological framework of Thurman’s words. Pierce notes how Thurman brings to light an image of God who can always be found “in and among the struggling,” both in times of weariness and in strength.
First written for and shared with his congregation of the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco, California, these meditations sustain, elevate, and inspire. They are a universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of everyday life with a renewed and liberating faith.

      Leon Nixon's rich, authoritative baritone provides the perfect interpretation of this series of brief meditations by beloved pastor and theologian Howard Thurman (1899-1981). He was a founder of the nation's first interfaith, interracial, intercultural congregation. This audiobook's poetic meditations and prayers focusing on the theme of developing a relationship with God and community will appeal to a wide range of Christian worshippers. The stunning new foreword to the 2022 edition, written by Yolanda Pierce, PhD, and narrated by Susan Dalian, calls for these mediations to be read aloud, thereby drawing "attention to the rhythm, cadence, and flow of Thurman's own words." Nixon's unhurried performance, delivered in measured rhythms and resonant tones, does this with great effect, enhancing the text's contemplative nature. S.G. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
