In “Find the Pearl of Great Price!: Memoirs of a Black Mystic from the Bronx,” Rev. Bonita Jones Frazier writes about her transcendental encounters from childhood to the present.
Bonita Jones Frazier details how we can look to Jesus Christ as an illustration of someone who traveled the path of the mystic. She says, we, who love God, of whatever religious tradition are intended to find and express this inner divinity as did Christ. Other mystics such as Saint Francis of Assisi, Rebecca Cox Jackson, Saint Bahkita of Sudan and Saint Terese of Lisiux connected with this same source of spiritual power and were forever changed. In Bonita's journey, she discusses, after she had this dynamic experience of the Presence of God within her, how she came to terms with her inner identity as a God-free being and, her outer identity as a black woman. She says mysticism is relevant today. We only need to acknowledge and pay homage to God as a seed in our heart—a divine spark—waiting to be loved, nurtured, and brought to full, spectacular bloom.
The book is well received and has garnered positive reviews:
“The book contains the standard Foreword, Preface, and Prologue, but when Rev. Frazier starts to relate her personal story and remains in storytelling mod; the book becomes engrossing. It reads like a diary of her life's experiences from her Bronx childhood to her adult spiritual journey in which she comes to identify as a daughter of God. I was impressed with her Zen-like acceptance of her challenges, be they racial, educational, marital, professional, or spiritual. Her reflections and the lessons learned were so intimate and personal. She is such a special soul. It is no wonder that she found the pearl of good price.” Amazon Customer
