About this title

About the Author

Years of study in Religious Science and the dharma have given Larry Chang a thorough grounding in metaphysics and spirituality. In the course of his work as an intuitive counselor and speaker, he collected and used many illuminating quotations which he shares in Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing, and Wisdom for the Soul of Black Folk. Larry has been, in turn and simultaneously, an artist, designer, editor, activist, trader, consultant and restauranteur - and now publisher. He has written essays, poetry, blogs and hosts a website promoting the Jamaican language. His book on Patwa, "Biesik Jumiekan: Introduction to Jamaican Language" was released in May 2014.

From the Inside Flap

From the wisdom of Khemetic sages and pharoahs, slave narratives, the literature of resistance and protest, the self-assertion of Marcus Garvey, through to the reggae philosophy of Bob Marley and New Age spirituality, the contribution of Black thinkers, writers and artists to world culture has been as life-affirming and phenomenal as it is unknown. This anthology brings to light much that is timeless, profound and inspirational, universally applicable to the human condition.
