In times of struggle, chaos, and trial, we will be tempted to think that God’s goodness is not present. But prayer was the weapon of choice of Carl Murphy, the acclaimed publisher of the AFRO-American newspaper.

And knowing the power behind his pen, Murphy often poured every thought and emotion into the prayers shared with family, friends, the community, and his newspaper.

In this collection lovingly curated by Carl’s granddaughter and current AFRO publisher Frances Murphy Draper, travel back in time and journey through more than 50 original prayers from this cultural hero and pioneer. With each reading, reflect on Murphy’s authentic conversations with God and the perseverance and strength expressed by many as they were called to navigate Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, the Great Depression, two world wars, and other tumultuous, defining moments in United States history.

Pause with these powerful words from Carl Murphy, and see how his remarkable legacy as a family patriarch and wise businessman is defined by the solace and strength found in consistent prayer.
