This unique short-term Bible study combines an in-depth look at Scripture, American history, and the music and lyrics of six African American spirituals. The six-session study provides biblical, social, and historical analyses of the spirituals: ‘Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit, ‘ ‘This Lonesome Valley, ‘ ‘Bow Down on Your Knees, ‘ ‘Plenty Good Room, ‘ “Ain’t Dat Good News, ‘ and ‘Were You There?’ Marilyn E. Thornton wrote all-new lessons appropriate to the season.
Leader helps can be found in the book providing discussion questions and activities. Plenty Good Room is a powerful resource for small groups, Sunday schools, choir groups, and any setting where persons seek to enrich their devotional and spiritual experience through God’s Word and music.
