"Rebecca Carter's Prayers for the People explores the intersection of urban life,
death, and social and spiritual transformation in New Orleans's diverse religious
communities. Following, in particular, the "Liberty Street Baptist Church," a predominantly
black congregation in the Crescent City neighborhood, Carter shows how its ministers
preach hope amid the despair of grieving mothers of young black men who fall victim
to homicide."--Provided by publisher
