He wanted to be the kind of leader who could use his passionate speeches to stir hearts to change, minds to think, and bodies to take action. But why wait to grow up? At five years old, when he became the official caretaker of the 60 chickens on his family's farm, he realized he had a wonderful audience to practice on.

Baltimore Congressman Elijah Cummings was known for saying, “We’re better than this.” He said it in Baltimore, a city on the verge of explosion over police treatment of citizens. He said it in Congress when microphones were shut down, barring free speech. He said it when the president flaunted his power and ignored the Constitution. He said it when the president resorted to bullying, name-calling, and feeding racial divisions. We are better than this. He continued to say it until his final days last October.

In No Ashes in the Fire, he shares the journey taken by that scared, bullied teenager who not only survived, but found his calling.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy".

Publisher's Summary
Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work/Biography.
In Across That Bridge, Congressman John Lewis draws from his experience as a prominent leader of the civil rights movement to offer timeless wisdom, poignant recollections, and powerful principles for anyone interested in challenging injustices and inspiring real change toward a freer, more peaceful society. The civil rights movement gave rise to the protest culture we know today, and the experiences of leaders like Congressman Lewis, a close confidant to Martin Luther King, Jr., have never been more relevant. Despite more than 40 arrests, physical attacks, and serious injuries, John Lewis has remained a devoted advocate of the discipline and philosophy of nonviolence. Now, in an era in which the protest culture he helped forge has resurfaced as a force for change, Lewis' insights have never been more relevant. In this heartfelt book, Lewis explores the contributions that each generation must make to achieve change.

Lessons From A True Hero
There are few people regarded as living, modern-day American heroes —Congressman John Lewis is one them. His lived experience as a civil rights-era leader is more relevant today than ever before and Across That Bridge explores the values that guided him and other leaders during those turbulent times while imploring that those same values should serve as the roadmap for a new generation of social justice leaders.

Thank you, John Lewis, for leaving a Leadership, Vision and Change Legacy for Humanity; because everyone will continue to know your "Name"

A Visionary Work. Timely. A Must Read.
John. Lewis lived and died fighting for equal rights and representation for all. He walked his talk and this seminal book reminds us all to do our part for the sake of our collective humanity. It was read beautifully and is pithy with words of wisdom, his own struggles, and insights that would move you to tears. May He rest in peace and may his message live on.

Genuine Light verses Disingenuous Light
As we mourn the lost of Rep. John Lewis, Across that Bridge distinguishes who are the true bearers of genuine light and who are truly disingenuous bearers on the light. Do not be deceived by skin complexion (RBJ, 7/26/2020)
P.S. Rest In Peace John.

This book, though relatively short, well establishes the path forward. His loving kindness is exemplified throughout his wise words of action. After listening to the audible, I will be buying the book and rereading with a highlighter in hand. Highly recommended.

Powerful mandate for supporting social change
John Lewis offers us inspiration, courage and love on our journey towards a better world. And what an incredible leader he is to guide us! His words are so encouraging in this unforgettable manifesto. No one could read this without being moved by his story—and his guidance to bring about not just positive social change but the transformative inner changes that need to happen first..

Good morning listen
I thoroughly enjoy learning from John Lewis (RIP) and Keith David is very talented. I just could not get into the book with John Lewis not narrating.
With someone as soulful as he was, to hear him tell his own story would have been remarkable. I just kept getting distracted from hearing it from a second hand source (which I like much Keith Davids acting work).
It’s worth the credit as more people should look to John Lewis in these trying times.
