Publisher's Synopsis

Climbing Jacob's Ladder is John Langstaff's work celebrating heroes of the bible in African-American Spirituals.

An illustrated collection of black spirituals about Old Testament heroes in which "naive, lively illustrations in brilliant hues depict the Biblical figures as African-Americans might have imagined them, in their own image and likeness, in shades ranging from cafe au lait to molasses." (Patricia Dooley, University of Washington, Seattle)
