"They call him the "Minister of Celebration and Involvement" ; he is the dynamic pastor of San Francisco's Glide Church, where overflow Sunday crowds experience what New West Magazine calls a "synthesis of black evangelical worship, exuberant ecumenism, radical Third World politics, and booming electric music." Now in this powerful autobiography, I'm Alive!, Cecil Williams shares his extraordinary life-journey-- a historical life journey -- a historical spiritual pilgrimage that reflects the modern American experience, summarizes sweeping social and political changes and embodies his struggle to make religion a corrective, life affirming force in the community. Here is his terrifying childhood breakdown, caused by racism and survived through love and determination. The death of his courageous mother, which "pointed the finger toward the only method of survival revolt."" -- dust jacket
