Review
"This scholarly, well-crafted ethnohistory is a first in the field of public health. It illustrates a process of faith-based health coalition development and maturation. The Coalition's remarkable resilience is rooted in its identity as a multicultural family of God. The examination of racism is riveting in its realism and redemption." --Harold G. Koenig, MD, MHSc, Director, Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health, Duke University Medical Center, USA; and Adjunct Professor, King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia, and Ningxia Medical University, China
