### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Real Deal
*by Z***E on April 18, 2006*

I read this book because I'd just read his autobiographical story in "Of Water and the Spirit." I knew his outer life, now I wanted to know more of his inner life. How could I know that "The Healing Wisdom of Africa" would teach me more about MY inner life!This man is the "real deal," when it comes to wisdom, whether it be of a spiritual, mystical, political, cultural or social kind. I wish every white person, especially in America, would read this book. Malidoma Some gets to the heart of our problems and does so without blame, with natural authority, true humility and great love: rare combinations! His words are gentle, yet unbelievably strong. His insights are brilliant and his language exquisite. He knows the value of the individual as well as the group. He respects children, how unusual! He understands how we got to the place in America of suicide being the No. 1 killer of our teens. He understands "the great White loneliness," (my words)and he knows how to connect us up again, not only to the God within, but to each other.This book is nicely subversive, as well. Perhaps that is why it hasn't become a national best seller. We throw our Africans away, don't we? We always have. And what does a black man, of all things, have to teach us, we who are so superior in our technology and indifference? Only the way home. To ourselves, to our God, to each other.Quotes:"Matter is the skin of Spirit.""To produce beauty consistently requires a healthy community."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This one actually is more of a generalizer
*by T***V on September 3, 2024*

This is a Great Book, but athe Generalizing one. On the subject of the African Folk Culture, and especially getting to know the line of Work and the author - Some, this is actually not the NEWER Eddition. This is the Generalised outcome from his research. Thus I the detailed one is the earlier !It is a one of the pieces from the Great Line of Cultural research by Patrice Malidoma Some.The Author is verified as an expert on the Topic in the far 1994, when he actually even recorded mixtapes with the oral tradition.The death of this author during The Pandemics is a TRULY unfortunate event.I am aware that his is trying to took it from where his Great Father left. This is truly a HARD Task, when your name brings light to a Culture indeed. This one is from the original author figure.May God show his Mercy on Patrice`s soul ! Deep Regrets to his Family.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wisdom in  these pages
*by B***. on September 18, 2025*
