African American spirituals not only represent the heart of American music, but functions as the taproot of musical expression within the black religious experience. Go Down Moses offers 365 daily devotions and includes a suggested Scripture reading for each day as well as a short prayer. Using the inspiration of the African American spirituals, each devotion features a Negro spiritual that for decades has helped to define African American religous culture. The suggested Scripture readings will also guide readers through the entire Bible during the course of the year.
