Perhaps the most extensive book to date ever written on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Let My People Go! may prove to be the encyclopedia of this pivotal event in American history. While other books written on the boycott primarily focus on the point of view of one key leader, this book discusses the boycott from several viewpoints and takes the reader on an historical journey through time, illustrating how God consistently intervened in the course of history to free His people from the evils of human injustice. Although historically based, this book is mostly inspirational, in that readers will feel inspired to activism. This work serves, in particular, to remind readers that the same God who delivered 50,000 African-American citizens of Montgomery out of the bondage of Jim Crow, is still in the business of delivering His people out of any circumstances. God still speaks to the forces of evil by willing, "Let My People Go!"

"...for those engrossed in the spirit of the movement and seeking coherence in today's challenges [this book] will be a delight, especially to the local civil rights groups that can remain around Montgomery and abroad...a book that captures the spirit of time...this book will place a period at the end of bus boycott history." - Montgomery Advertiser

"A detailed narrative account of the boycott....Rich in detail." - The Alabama Review, January 2009

"While Walker is not the first to focus on the role of Christian faith in the bus boycott, his approach is innovative in that he posits God's presence at each stage of the protest. A particular strength of the work is its detailed reconstruction of the precipitating events that sparked the bus boycott. Walker offers biographical sketches of many of the well-known actors in the movement while also defining the importance of less celebrated figures." - The Journal of African American History, June 2009
