Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2001

Dear God

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you give it a chance, this'll be a truly satisfactory read that will take you through all shades of life and put new meaning on your own.
Review: I am not even kidding, this is a coloring book. Alice Walker?s The Color Purple is a read that will add color to your life. Even though it starts off excruciatingly painful and depressing after you are done reading and set the book aside, it will be...

Great Black Spirituality Religious Studies Book

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2006
